Anyone else see this?
It seems to call the Boost library (C/C++) to create a directory then fails miserably.
Yes, I have granted all the apps that I can find related to native instruments "full disk access": (kinda a ****** assumptions on their part about reasonable security access)
Yes, I have tried deleting all preferences, caches, etc, (that i could find) and reinstalling.
This is causing all sorts of other apps that integrate Kontakt 8 to fail as well (like komplete kontrol).
Also, the level of support from native-instruments (ability to actually contact someone) is also very disappointing.
