Help with Carbonite/Win7 installation

[email protected] · 07-11-11, 10:14 AM

I downloaded (and donated for) Carbonite, but I'm having trouble installing it. My WoW installation doesn't look anything like that shon here or in Carbonite's installation instructions

Instead of "C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns", MY installation (Cataclysm with 4.2 patch) reads "Documents\Public Documents\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft\" with two subdirectories "logs" and "updates"

I've tried installing to the updates folder, and that doesn't seem to work, and the other would make no sense at all.

Can anyone please tell me how to install Carbonite under this setup?

Thanks

That's not the correct folder for you WoW installation.

Find your WoW shortcut, right-click it, and choose "Properties".

Look at the box next to the word "Target" - that'll tell you where WoW is actually installed to. Then, navigate to that folder in Windows Explorer, and you'll see the "Interface" folder.

Go into it, and you'll find the "Addons" folder that you have to install Carbonite into.

Right click on your Wow shortcut icon on your desktop. At the top of the menu that pops up, click on Open file location. Your wow folder will open and you will see the Interface folder. Open that and you'll see the Addons folder. Now drag the three Carbonite folders (Carbonite, CarboniteItems and CarboniteNodes) over into the Addons folder and drop them in there. All done.

Ummmm....... It's actually four Carbonite folders. You forgot "CarboniteTransfer". Although, technically, that's only necessary if you have more than one account and want to transfer your settings from one to the other.

So, yeah, never mind, I guess. Sorry.
