1. This was fixed with a new client release on minion.mmoui.com. Are you sure you have downloaded and installed Minion2.0.1-beta.exe? It sounds like you have Minion2-beta.exe which is the one with that problem. the issue that is suppose to be fixed is installing Minion in places that have spaces in the directory name. I just tested this gain on my end with Minion2.0.1-beta.exe and it works. You downloaded it from
http://minion.mmoui.com right?
2. Correct we are working on a way for Minion to detect if the user is using the EU client. For now you can add a new game, and navigate to the liveeu/addons folder.
Sorry for the trouble
