Hello
I downloaded this sound bank Audio Empire - Jaeger 1.4.1, in Kontakt version 8.1 (R2R), but when I try to open it, it gives this error in the side panel
I deleted it in the registry several times (HKEY_CURRENT_USER> SOFTWARE> Native Instruments> Jaeger
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> SOFTWARE> Native Instruments> Jaeger) and added it again both by opening NICNT and by add library.exe, and every time the message "Added successfully" appears
But when I open Kontakt, this message appears
I previously had the 1.3 version of the Jaeger, it opened without any problems and showed it in the side panel
But now it doesn't show it

How can I fix this problem? Thanks

Did you uninstall the 1.3 version before you added this one? Lots of people using this without problems...

 

Yes

The issue you're facing with Jaeger 1.4.1 in Kontakt 8.1 could be due to residual files or improper library registration. Here are steps you can take to resolve it:

1.

• Delete all registry entries related to Jaeger:
  
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > Native Instruments > Jaeger
    
    
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Native Instruments > Jaeger
    
• Check for any leftover files in these locations and delete them:
  
  • C:\Users$$Your Username]\AppData\Local\Native Instruments\Kontakt
    
    
  • C:\Users\Public\Documents\NI Resources\image\kontakt
    
    
  • C:\Users$$Your Username]\Documents\Native Instruments\Kontakt
    

2.

• Reinstall the library by using the .nicnt file or a library management tool like Add Library.exe. Ensure it shows "Added successfully."
  
  
• Make sure the library folder is not corrupted and contains all required files.
  

3.

• Verify that the Jaeger 1.4.1 library is compatible with Kontakt 8.1 (R2R). Some libraries might require specific patches or versions of Kontakt.
  

4.

• Delete the Kontakt settings file to reset configurations:
  
  • Navigate to C:\Users$$Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\Native Instruments\Kontakt and delete the settings file.
    
• Restart Kontakt and try adding the library again.
  

5.

• If the issue persists, uninstall Kontakt completely:
  
  • Remove it via Windows settings.
    
    
  • Delete any leftover files in C:\Users$$Your Username]\AppData and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments.
    
• Reinstall Kontakt 8.1 (R2R) and re-add your libraries.
  

• If you previously had Jaeger 1.3 working, ensure no conflicts exist between versions by fully removing traces of the old version before adding the new one.
  
  
• Some cracked versions of Kontakt may have issues with modified or improperly registered libraries, so ensure your installation is stable.
  

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, consider reaching out to community forums such as Native Instruments' support or relevant user groups for further assistance.

 

No, it didn't work.

 

I reinstalled the 1.3 installer file, but it still didn't work.

 

there is a folder called installed products (for NI) with json files. You have to delete all the json files (since you dont know wich one is from jeager) Then restart kontakt and wait for a while. Oh make a backup first!

 

Can I hug you?
I opened the json file and it said version 1.3 I deleted it json in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Native Instruments\installed_products and opened the Kontakt again and everything was fine.
I was upset that I downloaded a 55GB file and it didn't work properly
Of course, I saw in other people's comments that this version has bugs and some sounds don't work properly, like:

Thank you secretworld

 

thank you for thanking! And thanks to @bobdule for finding this all out!

 

bobdule is Native Instruments nightmare and our friend and we love him And he is respectable for me.

 

For an outsider who sees these thousands of requests for Native Instrument - Kontakt here in the forum, the impression must be what a faulty, complicated software it is.

Some people also get the impression that you should study two semesters of mathematics and software programming before you can even get a sound out of Kontakt.

Once you have installed Kontakt, you should definitely make friends with the Kontakt guru Bobdule, because otherwise you are pretty lost, oh yes, without internet support you will hardly be able to use Kontakt.
