I have just come across this too. Using Winodws 10 64 bit and latest 5.5.1 Kontakt. I just did a clean install of Komplete Ultimate and all NI libraries that come with Komplete show up fine. When I try and add my own libraries with my own nicnt I get this error. Very odd.

Anybody found a fix yet?!??

 

I tried this but it didn't work. When you do batch resave, then select the library, you get the error popping up for each nki instrument in the library.

Any more ideas?!?!

 

NI just changed the wording of the error message with the recent update. It's the same as before: first remove from lib tab, then delete XML and pref files (also Content pref file from main prefs), then reboot and attempt to reload. If the problem persists, you may have corrupted one or more of the lib files. Try replacing from original RARs: first the small files [Lib Name].nkc/.nkr and/or [Lib Name]_info.nkc/.nkr. Also again remove all traces (XML, registry, prefs) and reboot. If that doesn't work, do it all again, but this time replace ALL nkc/.nkr files (ie sample tomes). I have fought with many stubborn libs and this does work, but trouble-shooting it is a PAIN in the ass. Avoid corrupting: use a.nicnt file ONLY if you KNOW you need one (often the SNPID is buried in another file, even if there are no tomes). And be very careful about using only unique SNPIDs. Check Bunford's updated SNPID list. (I'm a Mac user so my terminology may differ, forgive any mislabeling).

 

U say there is a possibility to corrupt nkc nkr files using/adding NICNT with non unique SNPIDs?
Today i am troubleshooting for hours on 3 East West libs
Did not try to replace the whole lib, so i am gonna try again.

 

Some the old East West libraries are Kompakt and also some can only be installed from disc. Also get lots of problems with old East West libraries on MAC.
Bottom line encrypted/player libraries MUST be added thru the library tab. On unlocked of course this normally fine.
Legit Kontakt u need a serial.
As using wallpapers/reg editor as in Library mostly causes a lot of problems and wherever possible stick clear and just use quickload though with Player not possible.
XML could be messed up but often deleting the old one in the service centre will often help as new one will be added every time u re-add the library thru the tab.
Also check using regedit and manipulate entries if needed.
If all else fails then total uninstall, delete every reg trace using reg edit in ALL locations, XML in service centre so it totally clean etc
Re-boot reinstall Kontakt using logical order i'e update say from 5.2.1 or something all the way up to latest.
Be careful which releases u use and eventually re-add. Is a pain in the ass but worked every time in the past 4 me.
Could also be a problem with the library/download so double check etc.
Good luck

 

Thanks for your kind reply Clandestine.

After some more troubleshooting i found out that the problem lyes elsewhere.
When using a 32-bit host the authorization problems are gone.
In 64-bit host the authorization pops up. Tried to bridge kontakt 5.5.1 but it did not solved the problem.
I keep your no wallpaper advice in mind, and i understand now because of your heads-up that i do not need a serial in combination with cracked kontakt. (silly me)

Maybe a question for the kontakt experts; is there an explanation to have ''issues'' in 64 bit host and not in 32-bit?
Did read about the authorization problem in a kontakt update nfo about no more problems for older libs in 32-bit.
Maybe a older version does work? because the libs where fine a while ago...
