    KLU works normally in Sonoma and Sequoia for me. Is your Sonoma installation OK ?

    Mainly, you are missing the "Service Center" folder :wink:. You are correct, KLU SHOULD create it when you first run it if it can't find it, and it usually does ! I don't know how it missed doing so on your computer.
    The good news is that you can easily do this manually. You will need to open your computer hard drive (Macintosh HD by default if you haven't renamed it) and then double-click the Library folder. In that folder you will find "Application Support" and in that you'll find "Native Instruments". It's in this folder that there should be a "Service Center" folder. If it isn't there, create a new folder and call it "Service Center" (without the quotes). That should fix the "There is no Service Center folder" dialogue in KLU. The "Install this library in Kontakt" button in KLU should now work without issue.

    Thank you Fred for your reply and the workaround!

    Actually, I have used the Kitty script and suddenly, almost every library appeared in KLU. And in Kontakt 8. Happiness :)

    Now, some are not appearing like the Galaxy Vintage D for instance. Probably too old. Do you know how I could install these older libraries in Kontakt 7 or 8 by any chance?

    For oldest libs, included those from the pre NICNT era, you need a K 5.6.x standalone to add them. (latest K 5 version with add library button = 5.6.6)

    Thanks Belalugosi,

    But it seems impossible to install Kontakt 5 on a Mac M1 on Sequoia.
    Is there any other way?

    Hello there! First of all, I would like to thank you on behalf of all pirates arrrgh! Seems to be an amazing work you are doing, but for some reason it isn't working for me? I'm using the latest 2.4.0 version, using Monterey MacOS on an Intel Macbook Pro 2012 (using OpenCore Legvacy Patcher). I am try to add libraries to Kontakt 7.10.5 from HCiSO release...it says that it installs in the KLU and shows in the list, but not in Kontakt? When I then go to manually add the library (after adding with KLU), it shows as demo! I will try a re-install on Kontakt (maybe an earlier version?), perhaps it didn't "K" properly... Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!
