Wow addons are installed the same way as in windows, by extracting the addon zip file into the ../World of Warcraft/interface/addons directory). You just need to know where the directories are.
The default wine prefix (essentially the fake windows "c drive") is in /home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/
So, assuming you installed Wow in the default location, you would need to extract the addon files intoDirectories begining with "." are normally hidden when using the Nautilus file manager. Hit Ctrl-H to unhide "." directories and you can easily browse to the .wine directory./home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons/

Dear tweak42,
Again, I'd like to thank you!
I do remember having recount on my old ubuntu install some years ago, but sometimes you never if things get broken. So I thought better to ask. Your detailed response, should make things almost plain sailing. Plus, I could not remember how it was installed etc.
Truly, I appreciate your help.
Thanks man.
Hi all,
Any of you with the latest PPA Wine thing also getting character preview? I'm getting it, bloody rapt too

OK, I've been searching the forums and I can find people having similar problems, but the people trying to help just keep pointing back at the installation guide. That is not helpful because the game IS installed correctly.
I have WoW installed. It has been working until today.
Yesterday the driver decided I could no longer use the correct resolution. I replaced Nvidia-Current with Nvidia-173 and that fixed the resolution problem but now I have a new one:
When I launch WoW I get the first page, where it tells you whether the game is up to date and you can select full screen or windowed. When I click "Play" it just shuts the window. No error message, just shuts the WoW window and does nothing else.
Ubuntu 12.04
Dell Inspiron 530
Nvidia-173
Wine verison 1.5.12 set for Window XP (should I change that?)
Edit: Oh hey! An error message finally popped up. It is error #132. Unfortunately the fix at battle.net is to "Select DX9 from the Graphics API drop down menu" on the game perferences, but that is not an option. But I think I may have seen that error mentioned somewhere around here...
ETA: Well I found a fix that had worked for one person but no one else. Most answers seem to be to go to an older version of Wine, but that shouldn't be necessary since it WAS working fine with this one until now.

I also just started getting the error 132 today after I updated Wine. Now, admittedly, I haven't played it in a week, but wow has been playing fine under ubuntu for the last 2 months, and so I'm keen to blame the wine update that I applied today.
Posted this on Battlenet, although they don't support Linux...
The laucnher opens the loading screen, but when I click "play" it just shuts down.
Pretty sure this is a driver problem as it started when I updated to Nvidia 173. My previous version of Nvidia is no longer supported.
