Ashlight stopped working - the update doesn't work with my version of Kontakt

Gijs van Amelsvoort

Hi all,

Since one of my SSDs crashed with samples on them (Ashlight Included), I needed to re-install Ashlight, only to find out it installed an updated version that doesn't run anymore on my system.

This is why I'm in need of an earlier version of Ashlight; I'm on macOS Catalina, running Kontakt 6.7.0.

What I've tried so far is deleting the library, and re-locating the library to an earlier version from a backup, but no luck so far - maybe I've missed something…

Any help would be much appreciated, as deadlines are tight and I need the library for my work :)

Many thanks,

Gijs

@Gijs van Amelsvoort You can also use the Native Access uninstall function. I've updated the links to include a full version of the old library, not just the update/downgrade.

Try downloading Ashlight from the thread below:

Perhaps a freshly downloaded copy works better than a backupped one :)

Thanks Monochrome! Any advice on wether I should or shouldn't delete anything before installing this older version?

It seems it's not possible to instal the old version - it seems I can't install it because it's not installed haha!
What should I do….?

Uninstall the most current version of Ashlight (the one not working) and then install the older.

Hi Vocalpoint, thanks for your help - I've tried deleting the .plist file as well as the ones in the Application Support folder, I'm not sure if there are any other files I should delete in order to uninstall?

After these mentioned steps I tried installing again (Native Access was not opened), but no luck unfortunatly..

Hi Jeremy, this worked straight away! Thank you so much for providing a solution and the upload of the full version.
