How do I install addons for a patched from beta version?

How do I install addons for a patched from beta version? I've been looking around & every one says to make an /addon folder in the /live folder. I didn't have a /live folder so some one in game said to make one. I made a /live folder & a /addons folder inside of that. none of my addons are showing in the game. My current install path is,
/c/Program Files (x86)/Zenimax Online/The Elder Scrolls Online/live/addons.
I'm using windows 7. Also, before I added the /live folder, there were just 3 main subfolders in the /The Elder Scrolls Online folder. They are /depot, /game, /vo_en.

Edit: I also tried putting the /addons folder just in the main folder /The Elder Scrolls Online/ so the path was
/c/Program Files (x86)/Zenimax Online/The Elder Scrolls Online/addons
& it still didn't work.

Edit: Never mind, I was talking to some one in the game & they helped me out. I have my addons working now. I fond my /live/addons folder inside my /documents folder.

The important part is picking the right folder for the client you have. NA (live), EU (liveeu) and PTS all had seperate addons folders, saved varaiable folders, game settings and the like.

Thank you, this is a late reply, but I just had the same issue. Does anyone know if it's possible to move the addons off the C: drive without a full reinstall to the release version of the client?

My C: is a small SSD that is normally reserved for OS and essential programs only, but any time I tried to move the addons folder to the drive where the program data lives, it stopped working. (I've been using Curse for addon management until now, so it was an adventure finding the correct folders.)

The game looks for the addons within your user Documents folder.

You can move where your "Documents" folder resides. But this change must be made in windows itself.
Programms asume nothing about the position of folders like Documents. They just ask the Windows where it should be and blindly follow that path.

Under XP I made it a habit to have "My Documents" folder on a seperate partition.
In Vista and later you can specify the position for most of your User Profile Subfolders, including the Documents folder, but you have to do it for each folder seperately:

Edit:
The Guide for Vista does not seem to work for 7 and later after all. Here is a proper one.

If you really want it on a separate drive but don't want to move your documents folder, you can use a junction point (though it is a bit more complicated to setup):

That lets it act like the folder is one place when it's actually stored somewhere else. You can do this across drives -- I have my ESO data folder on one drive (SSD) and the rest of the install on another drive (HDD).
