    I've used this script no problems on a hackintosh several times. Picked up an old mac mini running Catalina. After installing Kontakt 7 I created my folder of instruments and went about using the script as I had done in the past successfully. However, when running the script on mac mini I just get no such file or directory in terminal and no library added.
    Any ideas?

    Sorry, should have said...kitty script. It works fine on my hackintosh but this mac mini when you run it, terminal just says no such file or directory.

    I had this too on High Sierra. It's because I was trying to start using it with no kontakt libs on the system. i had a different external drive connected. I added 1 lib the old way with k5 and then it no longer crashed at startup.

    I tried installing 5 then adding a library, then adding 7 and running kitty script but no change.
    I've installed and removed these so many times. I can't fathom it. I havec3 hackintoshes that havevno problems. But this mac mini running Catalina just won't play ball with Kontakt and these scripts. Maybe I'm missing something security wise....I don't know.

    Finaly cracked it. Double checked how to uninstall all NI software. Rebooted then reinstalled K7 now scripts are working. Not sure what happened before but it's working now.

    Oh, one other thing I did. I renamed my hdd. It originaly said Macintosh HD....I shortened it to MacHDD. Whether this helped the script find the folders, who knows. Just glad it's working.
