eq2map\skinnable_WindowElements.xml

no it wont leave them alone but instead spit out an error and stop updating alltogether:

Unknown Error: mscorlib
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str)

at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr idEvent, IntPtr dwTime)Access to the path "W:\Everquest2\UI\fetish\eq2map\skinnable_WindowElements.xml" is denied.

so, that does NOT work

btw: to undo said read-only changes navigate to the fetish\eq2maps folder and do "attrib *.* -r" in there. ill stick with manually replacing those 4 files after updating and will now also try what the above poster said
