Alright, will try this when I get home, thank you:

How do I locate the live/AddOns folder?
If you are not able to locate the correct folder where to extract the addons to you will find the information here:
How to install an addon

Important: The live/AddOns folder will be created after your first login to the game, it will be missing if you had not logged in before at least once!
You are able to manually create it, but make sure to respect the upper-case characters: "AddOns"

In addition you can login, take a screenshot via they screenshot keybind and watch the text written at the top right corner of the screen.
The folder shown there should be the one where your subfolder "AddOns" will be located (1 folder above "Screenshots"), e.g.
c:\users\username\documents\elder scrolls online\live\Screenshots -> The addon folder will be c:\users\username\documents\elder scrolls online\live\AddOns

As a base troubleshooting rule: Make sure you logout before you update any addons or dependencies!
Why? Because addons use txt files (same name as the addon's folder) to tell the game what dependencies they need. And if the addon updtes and needs new/updated dependencies (versions) it might fail to recognize that and partailly load, but throw error messages, which you would not get if you had logged out before and updated the addons and dependencies properly. The game read those txt files in total at first client login, and not always "in total" if you just do a character switch or /reloadui ingame).
