It never did detect my EU client.
The only reason I ask is that one of my friends had to uninstall and reinstall Minion after an update.
Then it detected both his clients. Before that I thought it couldn't support both clients.
When I try to add it manually then I can't select it's the EU version I want to add, so I end up with 2 games in the "My Games" list with exactly the same name.

Regarding detection:
I see the problem with your scan. My clients are in a custom path:
"E:\Elder Scrolls Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client\eso.exe"
and
"E:\Elder Scrolls Online\The Elder Scrolls Online EU\game\client\eso.exe"

How about using the registry database on Windows?
Then you would at least get the Launcher path, and can easily do the scan from there.
My registry key looks like this:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Zenimax_Online\Launcher]
"InstallPath"="E:\\Elder Scrolls Online\\Launcher"
"DefaultLanguage"="EN"
