    I have a legit Kontakt, and I want to be using it with the portable version alongside.
    When I installed Portable v.6.6.1, the kontakt.dll (legit one) opens as portable version. Anyone had this issue?

    IIRC, for VST2 do not install the symlink into your NI folder. Install it into separate sub-folder in 'your vst folder'. For VST3, it depends on the DAW (that you didn't specify). You'll probably see 2 Kontakt VST3 plugins..

    This is happening inside of the DAW..

    I use cubase 10 right now. I didn't really get what you mean. I haven't always been familiar with vst2/vst3.
    So when I downloaded the portable, the folder with settings.ini and .dll goes inside the program files/steinberg/vstplugins (windows). I'm guessing this folder is the symlink?

    After changing settings.ini under vst3 from Ni$D to Ni$d (I just noticed this), I loaded Cubase again, and I'm seeing 2 kontakt.dll now, alongside kontakt portable x64.dll. One is my legit kontakt vst3, and another is portable vst3. kontakt portable x64.dll is seen as vst 2.4
    Both are loading as a separate kontakt, legit / portable.
    So I guess the problem was in the vst3 settings.ini ?

    I think you are overcooking it..;) Portable comes with an install.exe (lightning icon). Use it! on the second page it will ask you to browse to your VST(2) folder. Do it. (don't choose the legit NI subfolder), enter a desired name for the symlink(!) and you should be done

    Ok, I c you edited the post/ solved the problem :wink:
    Yes, the VST3s, like I said
    Probably, for the VST3 ver. I don't think those have anything to do with VST2 versions though..
