After moving NI libraries or renaming the disk in macOS, Native Access is unable to relocate the following libraries:

  • Maschine 2 Factory Library
  • Native Browser Preview Library

When pointing to the new location, NA indicates that this is no valid product location.

The reason for this is that the actual installation directory for these products differs from the real product name.

  • Maschine 2 Factory Library: Installs in „Maschine 2 Library“
  • Native Browser Preview Library: Installs in „NBPL“

Therefore NA enforces a reinstall which actually writes over the existing files.

    Hi @Jeremy @ NI have you come across this issue before and maybe have a workaround?

    Well, I'm not that versed in Native Access issues, but as far as I know the Maschine 2 Factory Library and the Native Browser Preview Library can't be relocated in Native Access like for Kontakt libraries, you would need to uninstall them completely, change install locations in Native Access and then reinstall from scratch.

    @ozon Does that work for you ?

    Hello,

    you can´t relocate them like already said. So it´s not a bug.

    I edited the title and deleted the word BUG

    Are you serious?!

    Did you actually try it?

    @Jeremy @ NI then NA shouldn’t offer that function for them.

    Similar problem for Control Editor BTW.

    @ozon Does that work for you ?

    A fresh install works also without uninstalling first, that’s not the issue.

    Hey @ozon I'm sorry, as I said I'm not a Native Access guru, this feature was not possible back in the days where I dealt with NA cases, my bad. I think the best is to get in touch with my colleagues here: http://bit.ly/NIsupport_install

    If it's indeed a bug they either can confirm it or try and reproduce it if it wasn't reported before.

    Hey @Jeremy @ NI no need to be sorry and thank you very much for your answer. I’ll sumbit it with that form.
