Instruments crash after installing Kontakt 7 Player

Navid

I use Windows 10 and Kontakt 6 Player and was quite happy with it. When I updated to Kontakt Player 7 a few of the instruments made by Native Instruments (Hybrid Keys, Soul Sessions, Ethereal Earth) crash both the standalone and VST versions of Kontakt Player 7 every ... single ... time.

All other third party Kontakt instruments load and work fine on both versions. All my Kontakt samples are on one drive and the directories to the samples are correct. This does not make sense to me.

Are the NI instruments themselves updated to the newest versions? It could have something to do with new VST3 versions.

Are you loading them in previous projects in which they were already used (in a DAW)? Or are you loading only Kontakt to play them?

Hi. As far as I can tell (using Native Access) all my instruments are up to date. The installation paths are the same as they all go to the same sample drive. Native Access is also up to date.

These particular instruments not only crash my DAW but they also crash the standalone version of Kontakt Player. I just don't understand why. I've even re-installed version 6 Kontakt Player and they all work with that version.

It doesn't make sense to use both versions on Kontakt on a project. Their own instruments should be compatible or at least create upgraded versions of them.
