why is it says DEMO to all my libraries?
download bobdule version
Half of all my libraries are missing now and the rest have an activate button on each one. ?
its working ; I think you forgot to replace the native access xml file
Man thats why im not touching mine…LOL..Ive got 6.8 and something said done touch it
Same ! Hope Bobdule will do a REV2
Please post Bob Dule Version that one works
More R2R RUBBISH! Why do you lot, still go there? 🤷♀️
The Bob Dule version is already out!
Neither version allows you to add libraries.
I always install my libraries using Kontakt 5
😂🤣 Your all fools to the evil 🇸🇮 👿
The Bob Dule version does work. You can install Kontakt 8 alongside the latest version of Kontakt 7. Or, you can uninstall Kontakt 7 and install Kontakt 8. Also overwrite the xml file. You can add libraries with: ” add library.”
It works but not with all libraries. For example NOIRE from NI does not show off.
That’s strange because i do have Noir in Kontakt 8. I uninstalled Kontakt 7 and then installed Kontakt 8 Bob Dule version. I had Noir on 7 and now i can find it in 8. Try to delete it in the register and add it again.
interesting ! You have uninstalled Kontakt 7 ? Maybe I can try this.
I mean Noire.
One question. Are you on Windows 11 ?
Yes Windows 11, latest edition.
Did not managed to solve 🙁
I don’t know what to do I am sure to have done your process :
– uninstall K7 and K8 with Revo uninstaller
– install K8 and patch it with Bobdule patcher
– click yes (or no) on native access overwrite
I still do not see all libraries and it is in read alert in the classic kontakt view
That’s tough man. You have to try to minimize the problem. Try opening K8 as an administrator. Or, go into the registry and remove the registration of an instruments folder that is booked as a Demo. Then add it again using the script add library .exe utility. Look what happens. Or else go back to K7. I’m talking about the Bob Dule version K8. It works well for me.
Neither Bob nor R2R can add libraries…
Why is that? I replaced the XML.
But I can’t add it. Why?
I don’t use the Kontakt manager to add libraries. I use the “add library.exe “file. I have just added “leap Afrobeats” and i can find it back in Kontakt 8. Also Conflux.
Where is add library.exe?
add library.exe this Kontakt_Button.exe located on the way C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Kontakt 8
I found a working fix to get all libraries working in KONTAKT 8 (Bob_Dule version).
If you create a folder and cut and paste all the .json files from path: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Native Instruments\installed_products to a new folder…
THEN use the “Kontakt_Button.exe” button in the KONTAKT 8 folder to point to your downloaded KONTAKT libraries, it should register the paths. Once this is done, you should now have new *.json files in the above path (Native Instruments\installed_products).
Re-open KONTAKT 8 and your missing libraries SHOULD be there.
Let me know if this was helpful.
This worked 100% for me.
I was able to add the library using the method you taught me. Thank you very much.
Man you are a hero ! Thanks a lot !
Glad that worked for you guys!
I am using Windows 11 and also the path: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Native Instruments\installed_products” was hidden. I had to type it in and press enter to get to it on my system.
You can delete the old *.json files once you create the new ones with the “Kontakt)Button.exe” located in the KONTAKT 8 folder and KONTAKT sees all of your libraries.
Thanks,
