| | Teach your users to use ace modds. They are as the name implies, pretty ace. There is a tool called aceupdater wich you can start, then choose update all addons, it then looks for new version of all the ace addons and updates if necessary. Back when i was playing, i just ran this tool before starting up the game every day, updates very fast as the ace mods are usually small packages, and the speed is good. And then you don't have to manually click through all your addons and update them individually. Ace modds cover just about every aspect of the game when it comes to usefull modds I think nowadays I think I had about 60-70 ace modds running, and then maybe 4-5 in the end that wheren't available through ace that I couldn't live without, but updating just 4-5 on the side is manageable. You can either use it individually on your machine, or along with the addon manager and then just update the centralized place you keep the addons. www.wowace.com

I totally just tried WowMatrix & WUU, they won't work with our system due to harddrive blocks.
Northlan, do you have any restrictions on harddrive access for your customers?
When we launch the program it just tells us that the desktop is an invalid folder, please select the Wow installation folder.
I guess we're sticking with WAM!
We have been using DeepFreeze so we don't care what the kids load or have access to. Updates are done using scripts and maintenance periods. WUU is open source and does not have the gold advertising.

| Well it is a little annoying having to add every Mods location .. plus putting them inside their own folder again 
for Some reason it would not work with my mapped Drive letter but by using server folders location it worked ...
edit and now after only working from
\\gu-cafesoftware\REMOTEINSTALLED\World of Warcraft AddOns
its working from
RemoteAddonLocation=R:\World of Warcraft AddOns
( God I hate Computers )
Maybe you Could re program for it to make the Mod folder path onto the Destination before it copies the files it is reading ?
ie
RemoteAddonLocation=R:\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns
LocalGameLocation=G:\World of Warcraft
Addon=Atlas
it knows to look for a Folder called Atlas and has no Problem copying data inside that folder into
G:\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns ( root folder )
maybe have it so it will look up the Mod name to create a folder based on mod name to dump it into so it does go into
G:\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Atlas\
also a option to remove the Mod would be handy as well
we have decided to keep all their mods in their puf for now ( unless its possible to have a custom mod preference option ? )
or maybe we will make a collection of pre chosen mods they like to use so their can swap between raid and arena's based mods ) |

| SOLUTION TO LAUNCHING PROBLEM & SHOWING IN SL:
1) World of Warcraft (SL Server) -> Edit -> Launch Batch File (does NOT launch executable!!!)
2) Place directory, "WAM" under client C:\ drive
2) Make a batch file (below) called wow_chooser.bat (and edit it to customize to your store) and place it in your c:\WAM directory
3) Done! Before WoW launches, it will freeze and launch batch file asking customer to either launch or customize UI! When UI is clicked, screen says "launching Add-On Program.." and hangs. After UI is customized with WAM and exited, screen is reset asking to re-customize or launch WoW. When WoW is launched, the shell exits.
