Hello Shaun311462,

for the "instalation failed! Review your location preferences", you can try this workaround:

In order to get NA to download the full installer we have to remove the affected products first.

PC:

1. Apply the following steps to the affected products: Fixing Software Update Installation Issues (Windows)
2. Restart PC and open NA
3. Install the product(s) from the available section
4. NA should download and run the full installer of the latest available version now

Mac:

1. Navigate to the following location:  Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences >
2. delete the following file of the affected product: com.native-instruments.product name.plist
3. restart your computer and open NA
4. Install the product(s) from the available section
5. NA should download and run the full installer of the latest available version now
