when I moved to click-once deployments you no longer had an option to elevate. In fact, it should have become unnecessary after the first time you ran the app.

17) I am running Windows Vista, and wow is installed in the Program Files directory

You have two choices here: allow WAU to update the addons for all users or just yourself.

17a) I want to update the AddOns for all users on this Vista machine using the Administrator account.

You need to run the program from an administrator account. (right click on the shortcut and click "run as administrator")

You need to fix the permissions on wow directory to give administrators full control, and propagate that to all subdirectories, or install WOW into some directory besides program files.

17b) I want to update the AddOns just for my user account on this Vista machine using the VirtualStore.

First be sure that you are using the AddOns and WTF folders located in your VirtualStore. Find your WoW installation directory ( C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft ) and copy the "Interface" and "WTF" folders to your Vista account's VirtualStore ( C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\World of Warcraft ). It is recommended that you merge folders but do not overwrite files. If you are the only user playing WoW you may safely delete the "Interface" and "WTF" folders left in the Program Files location ( C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft ).

Next change WAU to update the files in your VirtualStore and not in program files ( C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\World of Warcraft ). This will allow you to use different AddOns than other users and also may allow you to run WAU without running it as an administrator.

ambitious? how about linking to your quest log and not just listing instances.

maybe have a way to push your instance interest via quest-log as well.

The vitriolic reaction you are seeing (I believe) is due to people recognizing that it appears the "easiest" route was taken to generate revenue, not necessarily the smartest or most productive route.

Just a suggestion, but if the majority of the problem is updater traffic, couldn't something be done to reduce/limit the traffic rather than just pay for it? For example, only allowing updates every X amount of time, or even forcing disembedded libs (since they are quite easily manageable with an updater, and it would reduce the required download traffic by quite a bit). Has any thought been put into options like this?

Scroll back to the UIWoW debacle, and it all makes sense :P

They seem to act like it's a personal offense everyone isn't using their tool.
