World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - Image 1Having trouble trying to get your World of Warcraft Addons to work? While these player tools are a handy way to maximize the way you handle your character, admittedly, they're fiddly to install.

And when you do fail to install the Addons properly, the side-effects can range from it not appearing on your character screen, or worse, mess up your game graphics.

Now, in case you're one of the guys who's been having installation problems (or an error message), Blizzard spokesman Mikepl over at the WoW forums dropped off an Addon installation guide you may want to read. Here's the basic installation instructions:

  1. Navigate to your World of Warcraft directory.
  2. Remove or rename the WTF, CACHE, and INTERFACE folders.
  3. (Note: After this step Windows Vista users will need to restart their system)
  4. Next log in to the game with any character. This will recreate the three folders.
  5. Now please exit the game.
  6. Install the UI mods you wish to use. By default, all UI mods should be installed in the Interface folder. If you are not sure how to install your UI mods please contact the publisher of your mods. Technical Support does not offer assistance with UI mods.
  7. Log back in to the game and pull up the Character Selection Screen.
If you pulled off the installation properly, you should be able to see the Addons button on your Character Selection screen (Step 6). We imagine that this short guide should help clear up some of the more common problems the players encounter. Of course, it pays to keep your Addons updated.
