@sp00n:

Since users already have to do something by hand to install your "addon" (eg. they can't let an updater program handle it for them) couldn't you just include one copy of the sound file in your addon, along with a batch file (*.bat file) that copied it out into all the appropriate places?

This would also negate the need for different versions of your package; you could simply include different batch files, and users could run the ones they wanted to remove different sound categories.

Most likely, the WoWI staff would have to manually approve each upload, since they'd want to look at your batch file and make sure it wasn't doing anything malicious. If users were concerned, they could simply do the same, and open it in Notepad and see exactly what it was doing.
