- Make sure you have a Blizzard Interface Data/ folder in your World of Warcraft/ folder (Blizzard Interface Data (enGB)/ for EU English client). You may have to create it.
- Unzip WoW_Interface_art.zip and move/copy Interface/ to Blizzard Interface Data/
- If you've also extracted the graphics, you'll want to know that textures are .blp files. Google for 'blp warcraft' to get an idea of what this means
- Unzip WoW_Interface_code.zip and move/copy AddOns/ and FrameXML/ to Blizzard Interface Data/
Viewing FrameXML on the web Edit
- The site wow.go-hero.net keeps a database of all versions of FrameXML online. You can compare different versions to each other, view the contents of specific files (in a specific interface version), or just download the entire interface as it looked for a given version. Even test server versions are available.
