EET Error Install Not Finished

[Moosewallah]

Hi I'm picking up in EE modding where I left off a number of years ago with BG modding so I'm a bit rusty.
I am having this weird error in EET where as far as I can tell it has pretty much finished the section it was on - importing the mods etc and then it crashes at the last moment here are next to last lines from output screen:

Many thanks for any help or suggestions,

Update, I have switched to the EET Mod Setup Tool and have encountered the same error.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hm, I can only think of one of the related questions: do you have admin rights for the folder(s), might there be an anti-virus program interfering...?

 

EDIT: What I was referrint to was this concerning problems.

Hi Jastey, thanks. I finally found what was causing the problem and it was the settings applied by Crypto Prevent an anti ransomware application. As it doesn't run all the time and relies on predefined rules rather than running in real time I had overlooked it.

 

So problem sorted, although I am rather glad that I have a decent ssd as I had to run it a few times to get it to set up the game how I wanted as EET Mod Setup Tool doesn't have a way to save profiles.

 

Many thanks.
