Kontakt 7 not showing up as a plug in for Maschine software

Pan.Aeon

Im having trouble getting Kontakt7 to show up as an available plug in in the Maschine software. It was not there the other day then it seemed to appear and be available. Now today it's not there again.. All the rest of my Native instruments plug ins are there .. I don't understand what is happening

How do you notice if it's there or not?

Can you find it/load it from here?

Is the Kontakt Factory Library showing in the browser?

No that is what is confusing.. It did appear there yesterday and now today it's not.. I have Kontakt 6 player Installed too and that is available on the list to be loaded. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Kontakt 7 and still nothing showing up in maschine..

I can see in the VSTPlugins 64 bit folder that all the other .dll files are in there. Even Kontakt (6 I'm assuming). But no Kontakt 7 .dll. I purchased Komplete 14 and everything else seems to be running ok

I also just noticed that when I check the installation paths on Kontakt 7 there is no VST location, only the Application Location shows up. When I check Kontakt 6 player it shows both of them

I did solve this issue buy finding the VST3 file in Program files/common files and copy pasted it to my VST folder 😌

VST3 paths and VST2 (the ones with dll files) should be different ones. By default VST3 are installed here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 and should stay there, or at least not be in a VST2 (64) path.
