Bravo Kloud! I had the new v5.6.5 dll in a re-nmaed sub-folder in the VST folder (as advised above), but now I have renamed the new dll to Kontakt_5.6.dll and put it in the VST folder and it shows up in FLStudio as Kontakt_5.6 and it works!
Many, many thanks guys

 

Still cant get this to work. I found MSVCP140.dll in the System32 folder, tried copying it to a few random locations but that just gave me this message. Think I'm about to give up.

 

Yuri, I would Google the dll and the error number and see if something helpful comes up.

 

oh i have done this for years just rename the latest versions dll and exe then unisntall and reinstall then you have two or more version of kontakt i have some 10 version or so

 

I am getting the missing MSVCP140.dll issue also, has anybody been able to fix it?

 

Nope, tried various things and nothing seems to work for me.

 

Thanks, if I figure it out, I will let you know. I will post the solution here.

 

For missing MSVCP140.dll install the runtime: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
For missing MSVCP120.dll install the runtime: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

If you're on 64-bit install both x86 and x64.
@Yuri If you're adding the missing MSVCP140/120 on x64 the .dll should be placed in C>Windows>SYSWOW64 as well as C>Windows>System32

Some people have better luck downloading the required file only instead of the entire runtime: https://www.dll-files.com/msvcp140.dll.html

 

Pretty sure I've already tried most of the above, but I'll do it all again and see what happens. Thanks for the help.

 

Keep in mind that your 64-bit dll should go in System32 and your 32-bit dll goes in SysWOW64

You could also try to register the .dll if it still doesn't work

 

Can I install 5.5.2 free player next to 5.6.5? When I try it says "Installation is not possible since a full version of Kontakt 5 is found on this computer"

Is there a trick to get it to install? Should I renamed 5.6.5 and put them in a different folders and then install 5.5.2 free player?
