    Many users have experienced missing libraries (with ninct) in K8 that still show up in K7, K6, etc.

    Here's the fix:
    1. Go to:
      Windows: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Native Instruments\installed_products"
      Mac: "Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/Native Instruments/installed_products"
    2. Zip the folder for backup. Then delete the original contents of folder.
    3. Relaunch Kontakt 8. Kontakt will instantly replace deleted files with updated versions and you will now see the libraries updating on the instrument interface.
    - If you moved library files prior to this, you should use the add library tool to update locations.

    Thank you. I tried this from another user, it works. I didn't need to back anything up, I just deleted the folder of 3 libraries that was missing, re added and they showed up.

    Glad it could help. I fought with computer for hours before find this. The backup is not mandatory, just my paranoid habit.
