How to enable your own Mist of Pandaria addons on any Beta Build

Main exe file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12654979/EnableAddons.exe

Just run the exe and it will patch any open wow.exe it finds.
Also, note that the addon api is a bit incomplete atm (several functions seem to be either missing or renamed) so don't expect all your addons to run flawlessly.

Updated to a (hopefully) build independent version (thanks to TOM_RUS for the pattern)
Or if You prefer a permanently patched wow.exe look at this method (thanks to Ssateneth):
Credits go to TOM_RUS for new EXE's and oprime for pattern and patch bytes as usual.

In the meanwhile:

How to fix WoW Launcher: "Error: The file Localization.xml" could not be loaded."

Right click on the Launcher.exe or the shortcut and select Run as Administrator.
Done! That worked for me.
If it doesn't work for you, you can delete the Cache folder (World of Warcraft\Cache) and try again.
Another way would be to close the Agent.exe process.
