Jon,

There's no need to post a message in more than one Forum.

Have you looked at

Yeah, if you want anyone to help then you need to give us enough information to know what you're doing. We'd need to know:

- what OS you're using
- what hardware you have
- what version of Celestia you're running
- what add-on you're trying to install (a link to it would be nice too)
- where you're putting the add-on
- how you're trying to install it

Only then will we be able to identify what you're doing wrong (if anything). But saying "I can't install an add-on, help!" isn't useful at all.

If it's an addon with maps etc, you should at the very least be putting the addon in the Extras folder of Celestia (and you should unzip it from its zip file too if it's in one, preserving its directory structure there while doing so).
