No matter what drive I put MOJO2 Horns on, Access won't locate it... how come??

I recently got Vir2's MOJO2 Horn library. I copied the folder from the delivered usb drive to an external SSD drive on my DAW. I then registered the serial with Access...which it took just fine. But, in order to finish the installation I needed to "locate" it by pointing to the correct folder (which did include the nicnt file). But no matter where I move the content folder on any of my drives Access will not locate it. I get the "invalid path" error. I've tried the suggestions in the online help at NI to no avail. I can't uninstall the library because it still isn't installed yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This was a dang expensive library and I'd like to use it.

Thanks ol pal.

Turns out the problem was that in the folder there was a ._Mojo2.nicnt file and a .Mojo2.nicnt file. That confused the locator. I deleted the ._Mojo2.nicnt file and I was good to go.

A general error cause appear to be access problems like if you are using drives that were previously connected to another user or if you do not have sufficiently administrative access , so one would try to 'take ownership' of directories and drives and also try run Native Access as administrator. But other reasons have been seen in the past where suggested solutions to similar problems in the past has included

Renaming the folder containing the library

and

User selecting too high library level as entry : "My mistake was in selecting the same directory as used for Install which would be one directory level higher than the actual library to be installed."

So a 'naming' or 'folder' selection problem after all , just of another sorts ! 🤣
