I started the game with the trial thus was running "playthefae.exe" all this time.
I have no problem with eq2map running with this setup even the first time when the installer starts up it prompt where the "eq2.exe" file is.
I just select the only eq2.exe file that the prompt display and continue the setup and let the installer run.
During the map update phase, you can either stop the installer and click option to change the the settings there to suit your needs before the actual update.
Hope this helps
