Is there a way to hide manually uninstalled NI Applications from Native Access Mac

badibeat

I want to get rid of old applications after I upgrade. It's ok for me to keep the old libraries (which are separate installs anyway), but the legacy applications, plug-ins, databases, device drivers etc. have to go. Especially if they are plug-in hosts on their own.

I upgraded to Machine 3 and followed the manual uninstall procedure to remove Maschine 2.

However, Native Access wants to repair it, thwarting all my efforts. Machine 2 appears also in updates.

Is there any way to get it to not installed status or even better hide it completely from Native Access?

Uninstallation from NA directly should be coming in the (far?) future (at least so they said).

Also hiding is not a possibility atm: all your owned products will always appear in NA.

Sorry, no luck

I certainly don't want to wait until NI finally comes up with something to remedy the situation. I am not even asking for a complete uninstaller.

Setting the status to not installed by deleting a plist file or fiddling in a database should still be possible, I hope?

I tried removing the file

/Users/Shared/Native Instruments/installed_products/Maschine 2.json

but this didn't solve the issue, Native Access simply restores the file and still wants to repair Maschine 2.
