    Hi boys, I recently installed "Evolution Strawberry" in my Kontakt 5.5.2. But when I try to open the instrument (in this library there's only one instrument), kontakt output and error, there's a screenshot below.
    Why? How can I solve?
    Thanks!

    You must delete the nicnt file, then create a new one.

    Yes, replace the old one with a blank one. If you aren't sure how to do that, there are some video tutorials online. Here's one:


    I get this error occasionally and fix it with this method. It's very common. You must be new to Kontakt libraries. That's fine! If you have any other problems, there are plenty of people on here who will help you out.

    i would uninstall remove from regedit and xml file, make a new ninct and re add , check regedit also to see if listed multiple times?
    or
    try batch resave but i think 1st is better option, they might also be corrupt nki

    what is regedit? what xml you mean?
    I don't understand the second solution also :(

    I installed another library "The Giant Piano" on Kontakt, and everything works fine with this one...so the problem is about that "evolution strawberry" library

    The same solution applies to many errors. Deleting the nicnt file and replacing it with a new one fixes the problem, you stubborn dummy.

    Man I hadn't solved the problem yet. I think it's it concerns the compatibility between instrument compiled file (.nki) and library or Kontakt itself!

    Hope someone could solve it one day!

    For your problem with Evolution Strawberry I could send you a copy of the NKI file ... but I saw that you use MAC ... I do not think they are compatible

    Hi Highdom, I have already prepared the files in RAR. Where can I send them?
    If you want, you can write me privately, in the answer I attach to you.

    the snpid in the Nicnt-file (library) and the XML file (service center NI) should be the same, if they don't match then you have this problem that Kontakt will pop up this message when you try to load the library.

    Hello, seriousofficial I did exactly what suggested by modifying the xml file consistently with nicnt (I used notepad ++), I cleaned the registry from any previous reference, restarted the PC and added the library again ... but everything is like First, it starts to think that the file nki is damaged, or is something else ... but I do not know ...

    I have the same problem with some libraries and would like to try to replace the file instruments (nki) to see if they work by chance

    Anyone can copy here the file instruments (nki) of:

    -Sonokinetic Woodwinds Ensembles
    -Sonokinetics Ostinato Strings
    -Umlaut Audio PADS

    THANK YOU

    Sorry i have another request.
    Does anyone know if there is a quick way to move libraries within Kontakt?
    Currently I have to select and hold down the left mouse button to scroll through the other installed libraries (which are so many) but it's slow and boring
    thank you
