Message says there’s a virus
you must disable Windows defender and protection in real time
It is a false positive – purely from the word “patcher”, the same happens with Windoze “security” for executable files with other keywords such as keygen, patcher, etc. Just run it through VirusTotal and see for yourself.
So basically, in order to use the “Button.exe” app to scan libraries, I have to turn off windows defender. I also have to tell windows defender to ignore that app so it doesn’t quarantine it and remove it.
Dang, I have to reinstall. Works great and already sees all my libraries. The GUI just doesn’t show the wallpapers of each sample library… File mode all the way.
can you give me a step by step guide on how to install kontakt
Why are so many of my Libraries missing, I nvr had this issue before?
Hi,
The torrent link is broken.
Thanks,
Bro why can’t I download shit from this site?
You must don’t know how to download SHIT.
Many people say it doesn’t work because they have an older version along with the libraries, which causes problems when inserting a library. The only solution is to DELETE ALL CONTENTS FROM “C:\Users\Public\Documents\Native Instruments\installed_products” and of course AFTER installing KONTAKT.
Then open the executable called “Kontakt_Button.exe” for the libraries located in “C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Kontakt 8”
BUT FIRST, YOU MUST COMPLETELY DISABLE YOUR ANTI-VIRUS.
After opening the executable to insert the libraries, find the drive where your libraries are and insert them one by one until everything is complete.
NOTE: Just in case, if you insert a library and then open the DAW, it will register the library in KONTAKT. However, if you do the INSERTION AGAIN, it won’t appear when you open the DAW again. This is because the “installed_products” folder registers ALL THE LIBRARIES, WHETHER YOU HAVE THEM OR NOT. To do this, you HAVE TO DELETE THEM ALL AGAIN, BUT IT WILL NOT AFFECT THE ONE YOU HAVE REGISTERED. This way, you can insert the rest without opening the DAW or KONTAKT.
With these steps, registering any library will work fine.
NOW, but when it’s NEW, meaning CLEAN, with the UPDATED version, even if you insert and open the DAW simultaneously, it WILL NOT AFFECT IT, because YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PREVIOUS VERSION, since the INSTALLATION IS CLEAN WITHOUT ANY OLD KONTAKT.
Anyway, I hope this makes sense, since I’m Spanish and my English is a bit poorly translated.
Wow, such hard work, 🙁 I cant be bothered! I just want to install Kontakt with a registration button. Is that to much to ask? 😂🤣
Hice todos esos pasos tal cuál, y sigo sin poder instalar la librería del Session Guitarist – Electric Mint. ¿Es porque la versión que está en esta página no funciona, o estaré haciendo algo mal?
Works but I can not add instruments! Everything is done by the guides. It finds one instrument from my library, besides the stock piano and that’s it. Has anybody a solution for that?
Weird because if follow everything as instructed should work fine all is working for me as it should.
dont like bobdule. need TCD
i download it but there is just a winrar file, to install winrar.. wtf?
thats bullshit.. nothing works
The only thing I like is my reflection in the Mirror! 🙂
