Minion not detecting my ESO Addon directory

[Zylith]

all you have to do is create a text file in the AddOns folder called AddOns.txt leave it blank but minion looks for that file in the log. Hope it helps

I also had this problem in Windows 10 and had only one blank field in the program. The program must be started as an administrator. Then it works correctly.

I have ESO installed through steam, cant find the addon folder anywhere on my drive. I tried looking in the Documents folder that was mentioned in this thread, not there, not in the steam's ESO folder anywhere. So minion cant find it even with turning it to 6 and I cant manually add it because i cant find it lol.

Try to copy the following command into your start menu:

explorer /e,::{FDD39AD0-238F-46AF-ADB4-6C85480369C7}

This should open a new explorer window in the documents folder which contains the "Elder Scrolls Online" folder. When you right-click on it and select properties, it should show you the correct path.

I've tried all these recommendations. Unfortunately I can't use minion at all. I have a rather complex home network and my PC is a member of a Windows domain. Does it not account for the change in path for domain joined machines?

Domain joined machines use for example:

C:\Users\username.domain\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns

if I manually download the addon and place it in the directory it works fine.

From the logs:

This folder is wrong:

AddOns\VotansMiniMap_v1.4.14

Did you maybe download and extract the file manually and thus the ZIP name was "VotansMiniMap_v1.4.14.zip" and the folder was created this way?

Remove it as Minion tries to read the txt file, which does not exist, and then hangs!
The folder must be only "AddOns\VotansMiniMap"

When I check Minion, it says I have no addons for ESO. ESO shows the addons and they work fine. How can I correct this so I can update addons as needed?

Did you read the sticky forum post about Minion troubleshooting?
If not, please do so and follow the steps there.

In addition:
-Set in Minion's settings (gear icon at top right corner) has set the scan depth to higher subfolder level.
-Disable Microsoft OneDrive or move documents folder from OneDrive back to normal C:\users\windows user name folder
