    I would like to offer my assistance if you haven't yet be able to. It also happened to me as well. This is what I did. I reinstalled the latest version of Native Access 3.11 and I CLOSED All of the internet browsers. After the installation of Native Access I then proceeded to install as i AM doing right now and everything is going well with the installation. I understand that it can become very depressing, but this should work as it is currently working for Me. Let Me know please.

    I'd just like to point out that if it wasn't for forum members like @PoorFellow we would be in a much worse place. His tireless efforts to bring us solutions to problems inflicted on us by NI's frankly appalling inability to get things right first time is greatly appreciated and should be applauded. Many thanks @PoorFellow .

    Just for anyone who is still having this issue, I think I worked out the fix.

    I was confused as to why the "location preferences" were incorrect, even though I hadn't changed anything about where the install folder is located. In a frustrated attempt to fix the issue, I restarted my computer. Then I had a thought that "install location" might not actually refer to the folder location but "location services" preferences. So I went to System Preferences, opened Security & Privacy and went to the Location Services section. There I saw there was a Native Instruments entry that did not have Enable Location Services ticked. So I ticked this and then opened up Native Access again and tried to install my plug in (Slate and Ash 'Cycles') and it worked with no issues.


    So, either the restart solved the issue or, weirdly, the "location preferences" the installer is referring to isn't the install location, but is instead a Location Services request that has not been manually authorised.

    Now.. why Native Access wants to know our location is another issue.

    Somewhat old thread but I still ran into this installation problem getting a plugin from SubMission Audio today. Had to delete the existing NTKDaemon to make this version you linked install. Thanks! We're back on track.
