how to reinstall all libraries at once ?

The external disk with all my NI libraries on it has crashed and I need to reinstall them all.
However, in Native Access I can only install them one by one (and I have 323 of them). Is there an easy way to reinstall all the libraries all at once on the new SSD drive?
I just did the first two but this is going to take ages.

Don’t try to repair. Uninstall them all (takes few seconds per library), one by one. Then “install all”.

Try deleting the products from your Mac that might make them available for install :

In my case (also Mac), uninstalling the library instead of repairing it or deleting it - made it available for install again. Best to check official NI way first, I think 🤔

Yes , you are absolutely right , bad choice of word on my part , I meant uninstall on Mac as referred to by the help article supplied by me. But while 'solving problem' I were also 'channeling' the help content where you delete the stuff when you want to uninstall..

Yes, that’s absolutely correct, cause not everything can be uninstalled via NA - then it has to be done manually, as per article you quoted. But Kontakt libraries can be uninstalled one by one and then reinstalled all together via “install all”.

Thank you for the comments. I am doing the "uninstall" now one by one and then "reinstall all" in batches. That seems the safest way for me.
