Hi, I was able to add the cracked Native Instruments Abbey Road 80s Drummer version 1.0.0 library using Kontakt 5.6.0 and I was able to play the drum in Kontakt 6.7.0. However, when I tried to update the 1.0.0 version to version 1.3.0 using the NI_AbbeyRoad_1.3.0_Update.pkg, I got the following error:

"
Abbey Road 80s Drummer cannot be installed, because Abbey Road 80s Drummer has not yet been installed on this computer. Please run Abbey Road 80s Drummer before running this installer."

How can I fix this problem and update the library using the updater?

Aren't libraries installed when we add them using Kontakt 5.6.0?

Here are the scripts of the updater:
