Hello there,

I'm trying to use my new version of Kontakt in Logic Pro X. I deleted all Kontakt files I could find, but it keeps opening the old version, and I have no idea where it might be. Any suggestions?
Is there any way I can choose the version I want to open in logic?

 

if you meant to say having installed the Kontakt 6, it doesn't interfere with the earlier versions because it has a different name, in differently named location (Kontakt folder). It's a new AU plugin, called Kontakt.component (without version-number). So you didn't need to delete old Kontakt, at all. But it seems you didn't add this new Kontakt in Logic.
The plugin is in Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components - next to the old version.

 

It's hard to know how to help. You might as well ask "hey guys! I can't find my car keys. Any idea where they might be?"
Is your standalone K6 working?
Is there a Kontakt.component file in your au plugin folder?
Is it marked as validated?
If the standalone is okay you may need to reinstall the plugin and run the often mentioned command in the terminal. I can't recall it at the moment.

 

Sorry, let me be more specific.
A friend asked me to install a newer version of Kontakt in his computer. I have the 5.7.3 version.
I tried installing it with the installer package I used to install it in my computer, but i got the message "Installation is not possible since the full version of Kontakt 5 is found on this computer."
Then I tried to update it with an update pkg that I also used, but I got the message "No previous installation found."
I tried to delete the old version and repeat the procedure, but I got the same messages.
The standalone 5.7.3 works fine. But when I open in logic, it opens a 5.5.1 version, and I can't find its files.

 

Are you talking of Kontakt 6 Full or the Player version of Kontakt 6 ?

 

This is more confusing. It's on someone else's computer and you're trying to install 5.7.3 over what version? Why 5.7.3?
It sounds like your friends computer has a legit older version or the Kontakt player. Is your 5.7.3 legit? I don't care if it's not but 5.6.6 was the last useful version from which to upgrade. Meaning it allows the addition of libraries.
I'd trash everything Kontakt related (apart from your libraries of course) and start over with 5.6.6 then install 6. Keep both versions in the app folder. Use the old standalone to add libs, but keep the latest plugins only.

 

Yes, I missed it! Now its working, thank you very much!

 

That's what I was trying to do (with 5.7.3 - which I believe it's not legit - instead of 6), but I didn't really delete all Kontakt files - I missed the files in Users/(username)/Library/Preferences, so I couldn't install the 5.6.5 version. Now it works, thank you for the help!
