2. Known Issues

2.1 Installing

2.1.1 Generic

Installation may take a long time, especially when .NET Framework 3.5 is not installed on the target computer. This is normal and please do not interrupt the installer.

2.2 Post Installation

2.2.1 UI.xsd Must Be Manually Extracted

The UI.xsd required for validating the Frame Xml files is not included in the installation. This file is stored inside the data files of World of Warcraft, so it must be manually extracted using the World of Warcraft AddOn Kit provided by Blizzard.

In order to enable the AddOn Studio's full functionality this step should not be skipped.

2.2.2 Enabling IntelliSense Support for Frame XML files

After the UI.xsd has been extracted from the data files, you must copy it into the following folder: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Xml\Schemas\.

By default %ProgramFiles% points to C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) on 64 bit systems. If you are not sure where is your Program Files folder, type the following command into a Command Prompt Window (Start/All Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt):

echo %ProgramFiles%

If the AddOn Studio was running you will have to restart it.
