Kontakt 7 Update Installation Failed

I spent 3 hours today trying to fix free software with "updates" available. Solution. Delete NI and use Arturia Labs or Spitfire. NI is horrible.

I had the "installation failed" error with an update to Guitar Rig 7 Pro. The solution from @Ruckman65 did help. Thanks Ruckman!

Since the Ruckman65 fix referred to here appear to be downgrade to and use N.A. 1 , then I will have to inform you that the old N.A. 1 one will not show all available downloads and updates so that type of 'fix' is just introducing another set of problems for you.

EDIT ! , I see from your post over here that you went on to install the new version of N.A. afterwards so it appears as you have solved that part also. Congratulations.

###########################################

If it fails again, close the "Native Acces" file manager & re-launch it with admin powers again.

Try to uninstall the "Kontakt 7 Player" if it's installed seeking an update & try a fresh reinstall.

I got it to install successfully by launching the the "Native Acces" file manager with admin powers.

Didn't have to uninstall "Kontakt 6 Player" or use an older "Native Access" file manager.

If it still fails, try rebooting and doing the steps again.
