The World of Warcraft updating system is a standalone application that automates the task of keeping your add-ons current.Anyone that has been playing World of Warcraft for any length of time knows how frustrating a new content patch can be. The scripting system in WoW is under constant modification to help add-on writers; unfortunately this does result in add-ons breaking quite often and requires them to be updated - a very time-consuming effort if you have more than a few installed.WoWus was created to help alleviate the pains of keeping your installation in workable order; please see the Features section for further information.WoWus is a freeware application - although a donation is greatly appreciated - that requires the Microsoft .NET 2.0 runtimes package to be installed. WoWus does not use any add-ons to function.Automated Scanning & DownloadingOnce WoWus is up and running, simply click on the List Updates button to begin. WoWus will then scan your World of Warcraft installation for add-ons and compare them with the WoWus.m6.net database to see which ones require updating. If an update is found, it is added to the add-ons list ready for you to choose to download. Clicking on the Get Updates button will prompt WoWus to automatically download the selected add-ons to your computer ready for installation.Automated Backup & InstallationWhen the required updates have been downloaded, you are asked if you would like them installed. Continuing with the installation will cause WoWus to first back-up the add-ons to be updated (should you want to roll-back the update for any reason) and then install them into the required location. Warcraft can now be launched and the add-on will be ready to be used!Add-On ManagementAs well as providing access to the backed-up add-ons, the Management area also provides functionality for interacting with your currently installed add-ons using an interface similar to the one utilised in the Backup area
