OK, so in the setup I've been working on, there's a Addons/ folder in the same place where Sources and Themes are, and there's a global variable called $addonsdir that maintains its path. So far, so good.

Said variable is populated on install, editable in admin, but even though it exists and has content, is_dir returns false, as does opendir.

Were this a Linux host, I'd assume chmod was at fault, but it's on my PC, via WampServer. Anyone got any ideas WTF is wrong?

Amazing what fresh eyes will do. The path was actually set wrong even though I swear I'd set it right, but then I found a bunch of other issues that prevented it from working, like some things I didn't realise that libxml (which underpins SimpleXML) does, like implicitly attempt to validate XML files given to it, and I don't have a complete DTD yet with which to set out such.

(Not that I really want to write the DTD, because I know it's going to be a pain in the arse to write, but still, it will have to be done sometime.)

Or turn off validation and do it by the seat of your pants :P

The structure is pretty complicated at its fullest, so I'd rather hand it over to SimpleXML to do the heavy lifting (and it means that Subs-Package can mostly be retired, too)
