I'm having trouble getting carbonite to work on wow. I'm new to wow and would like someone to maybe give me step by step directions on how to get it to work. When it says save or open which do i choose then where do I go from there? Carbonite has helped me in the past but i can't get it to reload to work. It really helps in leveling and not getting lost lol Please help! LOL

Common Installation Instructions

This zip file contains

Carbonite (a folder)
CarboniteNodes (a folder)
CarboniteTransfer (a folder)
CarboniteLicenseAgreement.txt
CarboniteReadMe.txt

The Carbonite folder needs to be dragged from the zip file or the zip file
extracted to the Warcraft AddOns folder. Any existing Carbonite folders in
the addons folder should be deleted first. This should be done while the
game is not running.

You can look at the shortcut (right click and select properties) you use to
launch Warcraft to get the path to where it is installed.

So if the shortcut says "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Launcher.exe",
then your addon path is "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns".

Default paths:

Windows XP "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns"
Vista "C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns"
Machintosh "Machintosh HD/Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns"

Delete any existing Carbonite folders in the AddOns folder before you unzip a
new version.

If you have Warcraft installed at "C:\Program Files", then you would put
the Carbonite folder in:

"C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns"

Now you would have:

"C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Carbonite"

Which contains:

Bindings.xml
Carbonite.lua
Carbonite.toc
Carbonite.xml
CarboniteLicenseAgreement.txt
CarboniteReadMe.txt
Gfx (a folder)
Snd (a folder)

A common error is to create a Carbonite folder in AddOns and unzip to the folder.
This would leave you with

"C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Carbonite\Carbonite" (WRONG)

which will not work!

Some users have found two AddOns directories on their computers.
This may be caused by having installed both a downloaded and CD version of Warcraft or
if Vista's Virtual Store is enabled.

When properly installed, the Carbonite logo will appear on login.
If the Carbonite logo does not appear, then the AddOns folder you are using is the wrong one.
You would then use your computer's "file search" to find the actual folder.

Vista specific installation instructions:

When you download an addon it will be in a zip file.

When you click the "Download" button a dialog box should ask to
"Open" or "Save". If you click "Open", then it will download the
file and then show the contents. Near the top of the window that
shows the file contents is a "Extract all files" button.
Left click that and then click "Browse..." in the new window that opens.

If you don't know the addon folder location, then look at the shortcut
(right click and select properties) you use to launch Warcraft to
get the path to where it is installed.

Use the "Select a destination" window that opened to left click on
"Computer" then (C or whatever drive it is installed on.
Continue to click until you are at the game's "Interface\AddOns" folder.

"C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns" or
"C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns"
are common locations for the game using Vista.

Now left click "OK" at the bottom of the window and you should see
"(the game path)\Interface\AddOns" in the
"Files will be extracted to this folder:" line. Now click the
"Extract" button at the bottom of the window. If it asks to overwrite
files, which it will the next time you install another version of
Carbonite and you did not delete the existing Carbonite folders first, then
click "Yes".

You would now have a
"(the game path)\Interface\AddOns\Carbonite" folder.

Installation is now complete and you can run World of Warcraft(tm).
