Addon Manager

OK, I'm really frustrated so I apologize if I sound a little peeved.

I've been gaming for over 30 years, installing, uninstalling games, addons, etc., etc. Been running Curse on WoW since day 1, so I figured installing the beta program to keep your addons up-to-date isn't going to be a problem.

So, after downloading it and all that, I run the program and on page 1 I get the standard name and password request. Put that in and hit register.

Very next page, need to enter name and password - again. Can't you combine this on one page?
Finally found the icon for the program - wouldn't it be nice to have the program ask me if I want a shortcut - somewhere.

So, got all that done, and I'm running the program. It's loading GameConfig for ESO; ESO Categories; and ESO Addons. 15 minutes later, I'm still here watching the blue icon move back and forth in the black bar. I stop the program, exit, and start all over again. And we're back to watching the little blue bar move back and forth, etc. This time, I'm not waiting 15 minutes, I give it six minutes, and still nothing. Oh, I did run the game twice, and it's in the folder that is recommended when the game installs itself. I don't change anything to put it in some weird place where you can't find it.

I'm wondering if Curse handles ESO since it handles a lot of other games.

Needless to say, this beta program is going to be uninstalled and I'll play ESO without addons.

you can install addons manually by unzipping them in your folder documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live(eu)/AddOns too

live(eu) means "live" for NA, "liveeu" for EU depending on where you play.

Might I suggest my addon manager?

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1175-ESOManager.html

I'm about to create another update for the new distant foliage setting in UserSettings. It's a really basic and easy to use Addon manager and Settings editor. I've personally been using it since beta because I hated opening documents and going to addons folder and manually extracting them. With this it uses zipfile function in .NET framework 4.5+ to auotmatically extract files to the addon location. It also creates physical backups of your addons since it does not use ESOUI's api to download addons (as it's private).

Hi FreddyJ,

Are you on windows or mac? I would like to get the log & config file Minion created from you so I can see what happened. Let me know what platform you're on and I can tell you how to get to it.

Thanks.
