http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-ons#How_to_install_from_zip

The wiki is pretty straighforward but those options are not present when I follow the steps in the wiki. I select this:

System --> Settings --> AddOns

All I see is a list of add ons like Youtube and Railscasts. There's no option for installing from a zip file like the wiki says. Pressing ".." just takes me to the list of AddOn types like "Album Information" and "Artist Information" etc.

The wiki looks to be out of date.

I have an Xbox classic (not 360) that I use as a HTPC using XBMC. But today a rogue application activated "Xbox Live" mode, which updated the system to boot into Xbox Live instead of XBMC. I have no idea what Xbox Live is - I don't use the Xbox for gaming, only as a HTPC for media. So how do I get… >>> More
