    Hi guys,
    that's my issue: i've installed a cracked version of kontakt 6.6.1 for windows.
    Till now it works well and I added a lot of library (with "add library tool") without any problem.
    From this morning, if I add a new library from C: or D: (my internal hhd) the "add library tool" give me a "no library found" message... if I add the same library but from my external hhd, it works!?!?!
    Can somebody help me?
    Thanks in advance guys

    Luca

    if it works on external drive it should also works anywhere else.

    you can still add libraries on your external drive, using only a folder with nicnt file inside
    and edit the regedit location to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\your library
    ContentDir C/etc...

    try to repair your system because it is not related to the tool.

    Coincidentally, I've just installed and undeleted Kontakt. (It turned out to be a beta. Annoying!)
    Perhaps someone can give me a clue as to which was the last solid, reliable version released for Windows 7 64 bit?
    Even more coincidentally, the version I'm currently downloading comes in a package that includes 6.5.3 Bob Dule and 6.5.3 Moria. Are there later versions than these? Which of the two should I use? Why?

    Edit: OK, I've also found a 6.6.1 R2R/Bob Dule release? Presumably this is better? Again, which and why? I'm downloading to run Keepforest Risenge so I don't need Factory Libraries or the like.

    Thanks for your help.

    Edit Edit: Damn, Bobdule all over my computer today. I've just installed BlueCats Connector as well. Thanks for your hard work, Bob. (You too Articsstorm.)

    OK, so I installed R2R 6.6.1 -- Installation seems fine. And I installed the R2R Kontakt Manager. But it doesn't appear to want to see the Risenge Library. I can see it in the Kontakt Browser, but i get a message telling me 'This instrument isn't registered'. Any advice?

    OK, replying to myself. Some solutions, some problems.

    R2R 6.6.1 doesn't work for me. I'm only using one library, but it won't install -- it just shows as a demo.
    Uninstalled that and installed Bob Dule 6.6.1 -- that one works. The Risenge Library installs. Bits appear to be broken though. For example, I can't get the VST2 to load in Ableton. And I get a lot of crashes.

    Is there anyone out there with a solid working install of Kontakt and KeepForest Risenge? If so, can I ask which version of Kontakt you're using

    everybody use 6.6.1
    the R2R version need to generate license for libraries

    clean your ableton cache
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Ableton\Cache\Cache\Decoding\CacheContent.idx
    and maybe the prefs folder & old versions residual files
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live 11.1

    you can also scan Kontakt player first in ableton.
    and patch it after.

    Sorry I'm late getting back to this Bob. I just downloaded your latest. It works perfectly. All of my previous Kontakt problems are solved. I can't thank you enough for your efforts.
