Updater stops after EQ2 Directory Confirmation

[Xershen]

I have used the manual update version of EQ2MAP for a while and really love it.

I have a problem getting the auto-update version to work though.

After I install, when I run the auto-updater, I get a pop-up box titled "EQ2 Directory Confirmation" asking if the directory it lists is my EQ2 directory. It is listing the appropriate directory so I click yes. Then the box goes away and nothing else happens.

I am running XP Professional with all updates and have installed the .NET runtime as instructed in the installation instructions.

I don't get any errors, windows exceptions or otherwise...the updater just doesn't run.

I read (I believe thoroughly) the installation instructions, common issues, FAQ, the first couple pages of threads in this forum, and ran several searches attempting to find a solution within this forum but couldn't find where anyone else had noted the same issue.

*EDIT - checking windows processes running shows the auto-updater running and using 31,496k memory however it doesn't show up as a running application under the Applications tab*
Any idea what is wrong in my setup that could cause this?
