    For me, it's working until the next system reboot. Even if I create a startup script and the drive is mounted automatically by the "net use" command, NA2 shows all paths as broken. Then I need to manually delete and mount (by using the "net use" command) again to make this work. It is very, very annoying; it should be resolved somehow.

    I had totally missed some of the follow up comments here, but I'll give these ideas a try during the holidays if I can find time.

    OR...

    NI could just fix this. 😡

    I uninstalled Native Access 2, and reinstalled and older version. I was able to install all the programs that weren't installing. The one program that still didn't install I found the download folder where it was located and I unzipped the file and installed it myself. That's how I got around the file location error.

    That's essentially what I ended up doing initially -- rolling back to NA1.

    Having a normal Home Theater NAS from Qnap and using Native Access 1, I can confirm that it works perfectly fine loading ANY library so far into Kontakt 7 under Ableton. No 10GB network here either, just 1GB, running everything (that is the whole Ableton project) from that NAS too. I assume people who decide to utilize a NAS know a bit or two about it and advantages/disadvantages. Therefore NI should definitely turn this non-sensical check&denial OFF again and let the user decide whats best.

    The fact that NAS locations aren't supported is beyond absurd. Is NI a real company or some dev sandbox for a programming class? The industry is using network drives across studios, particularly with 10G speeds being relatively accessible over WAN now, let alone over LAN. Using a NAS makes more sense than ever before, and this is something NI should absolutely support. If Native Access's technical debt is so severe that it can't handle such a simple change, then the product has far more issues than they're letting on.

    For me the NAS is mostly about convenience. Probably 98% of my music is produced on my desktop, which has enough storage for the libraries, but I also like to use my Surface when I'm in bed and can't sleep. And my surface doesn't have the capacity to store all these libraries. So installing just once to the NAS and linking from Kontakt to there kills two birds with one stone.

    Did you install Kontakt 7 from NA1? Or NA2?
