It depends on the category you choose when you upload it. If you don't select one of the Stand-Alone Addon categories, it usually means your addon requires some special procedure to be installed. That's why they do not show up in minion.

Looks like you choose the main category ESO Tools & Utilities which Minion doesn't list anything from there.

Also your AddOn includes an exe so we usually don't approve those for the stand alone categories.

I moved the addon into the correct category and gone ahead and made an exception for your AddOn because of the exe's included.

The addon should be listed in Minion in about 20min.

seems like it is not working correctly. After I hit the install button it only downloaded the zip file but did not unzip it.

Also it is promoting me to update even if my local version is > minion's version.

Looking at your zip file its a little messed up. Its not preserving any subdirectories. The error in my Minion log when trying to install it also confirms it...

WARNING: AddOn 'Tamriel Trade Centre' has no subdirectories.

I am able to unzip it by right click -> extract all. Would you mind provide a bit more detail? I am not really sure what you mean by it is not preserving subdirectories

Just put your stuff in a folder and zip the folder.

looks like it has something to do with the zip file created by powershell script. If I manually right click -> send to zip file it works fine.

The source folder is not part of the zip.
The simplest solution is to script a copy to a temp folder for zipping. So that the addon folder is the one and only sub folder of the temp folder used as source.
This way you can do a cleanup of bak files and other extra files not intended to be included. (like paint.net files of the dds files)
