We are looking into why the .minion folder for some is put in different and strange locations. If you have a system where your user folder is on a different drive check there too.
Heya, thanks for the response!

I did a ton of searches (indexed and non-indexed, files names and such) all over, I even started searching individual folder locations just in case. I searched for (each their own search) ".minion" / .minion / "minion" / minion - and the only results were the files in the install location and the shortcuts in the /User/ directory. I only have one hard drive, so it's not that.

Just in case it was missed, I do have Windows 8.1 64-bit, fully updated.

Update: I just searched for minion0.log and minion.xml as well, with no results.

Not sure if it matters, but I did not install it in Program Files or Program Files (x86). I never install anything in there if I can help it. I have it installed into C:/CIOZ Apps/Minion/

About this, nay I always run Minion prior to launching ESO before a play-session and if I want to go look for a mod, I close ESO completely (even the launcher) before I launch Minion. The permissions seem fine, I haven't messed with them at all and are set to full control for all users (even though I am the only User, which is the Administrator account). It happens rarely and sporadically and not just on the same mod, it's happened to four different mods so far but clears up when I manually delete the .zip and the addon folder that didn't exctract and then re-load minion and click update again.
