Using Vista?

Make sure you have the right path.

You can just right click your WoW shortcut and select properties. It will have the correct path there. (I think Vista also has a option on a r-click to open the folder that the shortcut points to, I use XP so not to sure)

Once you have the correct download folder make sure you are extracting Carbonite correctly.

You should have 3 Carbonite Folders (Carbonite, CarboniteNodes and CarboniteTransfer) in your \interface\addons\ folder, the same folder with all those Blizzard_???? Folders. If you have anything different say something like "Carbonite-3.130" (with the above mentioned folders in it) then it is installed wrong.

Simplest way to install is to do this:
Download Carbonite and save to desktop.
Open the correct WoW addon folder.
Open the Carbonite file you saved to your desktop.
DRAG the Carbonite folders from the zip you just opened onto the addon folder and drop them there. Careful to not drop them on another folder.
Completely exit and restart WoW.

If you did have a Carbonite 3.130 folder you can safely delete that.

Hopefully this helps.
