If you do a manual library add, don't put it in either of these

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\FastLED. (C:\Program Files\Arduino\libraries\FastLED on 32 bit)

It will work but the next time you upgrade the Arduino IDE everything you added will "disappear" (actually it gets left behind in the old programs folder).
Arduino now provides a user folder that allows you to preserve your libraries and other changes whenever you upgrade.
As excerpted from
Arduino's Installing Additional Libraries instructions

Under Windows, it will likely be called "My Documents\Arduino\libraries". For Mac users, it will likely be called "Documents/Arduino/libraries". On Linux, it will be the "libraries" folder in your sketchbook.

This is why I suggested to use the new built-in method. It works directly with your new library's zip file and puts it in the correct folder.
