Native Access won't install and run. "Failed to start..Verify that you have sufficient privileges...

shell beach

I have Windows 8.1 computer. My Exhale and Evolution Dracus Guitar plugins randomly stopped working..I wanted to Reinstall them.. But i can't because Native Access won't install and open. I've deleted it and tried over and over for weeks now. Every time i try to install Native Access at the end it says "Native Access Dependency Installation process taking longer than normal". Then says "NTK Daemon Service Failed to Start. Verify that you have Sufficient Privileges to start system services." I've tried so many different things to Run as administrator and change the settings but it keeps saying the same thing. It needs sufficient privileges to install... I saw somethin posted about typing in "gpedit.msc" but it says "gpedit.msc is not recognized as an internal or external command". that gpedit.msc thing is not on my computer either... I don't know what to do. Its only this native access thing . I don't have problems installing other products from other companies. Its just Native Access won't install and says that i don't have sufficient privileges. How do i authorize it?

The standard trouble shooting page for the Native Access Error: "Dependency installation process is taking longer than normal" is this one !

The gpedit.msc is a component called Group Policy edit that is part of the Pro version of Windows. It suggests that there might be an user access issue with respect to an install destination. If you are Administrator on the PC then you can manually edit the user access privileges to files and folders on your computer by right clicking on items and then selecting Properties and then choosing tab Security. Another way are using the TakeOwn fix that can sometimes help one easily to take ownership of objects.

However problem might be another one altogether , it could be that you are using the wrong version of Native Access for the products that you are using. Also , please always try running all the apps as an Admin if you have that type of problems !

What is your versions of all included software ? Native Access , Kontakt , whatever ?

You might have to use the old Native Access 1.14.1 : Native Access Legacy Installers for Older Operating Systems and : Legacy Installers for Native Instruments Software Products

Generally though then only newer OS' are supported and some older no longer at all , if applicable then also please consult the "Service Center and Legacy Products End of Life".
