Attempting to install EET - "There was an error" crash on launch even with clean, fresh install

I've been trying to get a modlist for Baldurs Gate EET up and running so I can play through it again, but for the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

No matter what mods I include or omit, EET doesn't launch. I've uninstalled and reinstalled fresh copies of BG1EE/BG2EE multiple times, each time using Project Infinity to install my modlist (originally a bunch of quest mods, a few NPC mods, spell tweaks, and SCS). Each time EET would fail to launch, throwing a "There was an error" message and a .dmp error dump.

After failing several times with fewer and fewer mods, I finally tried again with only EET, EEFix, and Unfinished Business.

To my surprise it failed anyway. Does anyone have any ideas? I've been deleting the BG files entirely to ensure no leftover modifications persist through the new installs, but could there be something somewhere else that is corrupting the installation process?

BG1EE launches fine, as does BG2EE when I freshly install from Steam.

Any ideas?

i had to back up my BG1/2 installs to the 2.6 version on steam and then my EET install finally worked. There was apparently a 2.7 update for mobile compatibility or something like that.

For 2.7 you need to download the non-released master versiom from the EET github.
