Nah you shouldnt use WEU for adding mini-map previews to maps,well how to do it then you ask?
Create your minimap preview image (256x256 pixel size) and then open the import manager and import your image which MUST be a .tga file if it isnt a .tga file it wouldnt work so your could use this program to convert the .bmp or .jpg file into a .tga file and once you have converted your picture to .tga and imported it you must rename the path (double click on the imported file in import manager) to War3MapPreview.tga (Thx for the hive to learn me xD)
And that should work..

Blp Minimap Image

In every case I've seen, you cannot set a custom minimap image to a BLP.
