I suspect its just the 'World of Warcraft' directory that needs changing as I have another computer still pointing Default Install Directory to c:\programs (x86) and its working fine.Ok so i just unchecked allow out of date addons and i see a lot more settings for a lot of the stuff i wasnt seeing before but the problem is almost all my addons are broken now ahahah Once I changed those settings (there are 2 Default Install Directory and World Of Warcraft under the Game Install/Update tab) to be C:\WorldofWarcraft the addon directory could be found and the button appeared. The default location was C:\Program files (x86)\ and by default it created a folder named Battlenet. Unbeknownst to me a new launcher application was downloaded with default settings for where installs should be loaded to and where the wow executable should be picked up from. įor some reason (when I started the game via the launcher) the launcher decided that it needed to drag the entire game down from Battlenet. My particular problem of not finding the addon button on the character screen came about when transferring the World of Warcraft folder to a new computer C:\WorldofWarcraft. Thats a real ugly way to have to do this though as this fix was from years ago and would have thought Blizz would have fixed it to a better solution.
What I eneded up having to do is, blow out AddOns folder, create a new one, then nerve rackingly extract all of the Addons and redo them and it seem to have worked. I checked all that good info and all is good. Then copy your addons to the proper subfolder there \Interface\AddOns and update your shortcuts to point to the new location.
If they are you've probably installed WoW into \Program Files\ and Windows is trying to 'protect' its users from themselves by not allowing them to mess with files into the \Program Files\ folder and instead mirrors those to the "Virtual Store".Įasiest way to solve this is to cut World of Warcraft out of \Program Files\ and paste it to another location, for example C:\Games\World of Warcraft\ This should open the correct folder where WoW starts.Ĭheck inside Interface\AddOns to see if what should be there is there.įor the other part check if your addons are actually located underĬ:\Users\”yourname”\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ Right-click the shortcut that you use to launch WoW, select Properties -> Find target. It's either the virtual store of Windows 7 messing with you or you have more than one installation of WoW on your computer.
