4 years ago ClassicAddonManager does not know of any previously installed addons. AFAIK that's not part of the features. Maybe the author will add this, but for now, it's simply not.
You don't have to "install" ClassicAddonManager into your WoW folder. I placed it on my desktop. Then start the program, choose File -> Setup. Locate your WoW.exe.
Delete all addons in your Interface folder (This will not delete your addon settings).
After that you can search for addons using the search bar in the bottom. When you found the one you need click Add. Do this for every addon. After you selected every addon click Update Addons.
Done.
BTW: I could understand him just fine.
Describe the bug I installed ClassicWOWAddonManager in the Wow classic folder. I currently have several classic addons installed in the D: \Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft_classic_\Interface\AddOns folder.
Selecting update addons the pgm does not find any of the currently installed wow classic addons. Also installing a new addon using ClassicWOWAddonManager does not install the addons in the correct folder but some sudo folder in the ClassicWOWAddonManager folder. Please help to resolve this issue. Also it is almost impossible to understand the narrator in the youtube video. I could not find any help with this issue in the written instructions. Does the installation of the ClassicWOWAddonManager folder matter?
