Actually while I could be wrong I think all we (mac users) would need to play it is a zip file with all the files in it.
This would then be put in a folder, and then when we launch EU 2 we will have the option to name that folder and play from it (works fine for the AGC that was posted "with the setup program allready run" in the mod forum).
So far I've not seen a single version of the EEP that's not a .exe file though
Now the reason for this might very well be that the .exe does something additional which I don't know about I suppose (I haven't read that other thread you mention).
