There's two methods. One is to copy over the ProfitUI folder after each Profit update, and then create a second copy of the EQ2Map updater pointed at the second folder. That'll let you maintain two games.

The other is more technical. You need to get a bit of software called NTFSLink http://elsdoerfer.name/ntfslink and install it. Then, assuming the Profit and EQ2Map updaters are pointed to your EQ2 game, go into the EQ2X UI folder, right-click and do a New and select NTFS Junction Point. Select the EQ2 UI/ProfitUI folder as the target and it should create what amounts to a pointer from EQ2X UI/ProfitUI over to EQ2 UI/ProfitUI. Then any updates to the live game's Profit/EQ2Map installation will appear to EQ2X.
