NBPL installation problem

cinephos

It is a pity that the problem still exists 2 and a half years after this "closed" discussion:

https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/5823/native-access-stuck-on-installing-previews

Installing via NA the Previews installation never ends.

Confirming the location via NA (an action that can be done via the NA interface) is impossible and is associated with the folloging article:

https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000884238-Native-Access-Error-Path-is-invalid

However an .nicnt is not associated with NBPL therefore I suppose that NA mishandles the installation of Previews. It requires a diffrent or exceptional handling.

The above community discussion link provides an insight.

I uninstalled NativeAccess, before proceeding to manual installation of Previews. Was it unnecessary?

I installed using the link provided there. (That was not necessary since the NA downloaded .iso file was not removed from my downloads.) Anyway, I managed to install manually NBPL except for Part 5, partially, as Invalid FIle handle error appear, since the installer cannot read or write the predetermined directories. To this problem a shorter file path is recommended, but why? My libraries are in C:\Users\myself\Music\NativeInstruments and I would like ALL content under the same directory. It is a matter of keeping a computer tidy in order.

I installed NA again, and Previews appear to be installed. Thanks.

The point of this post is to urge NI that every single installer must operate perfectly. If an error occurs continiously to different users, you should either fix it or remove the program from the suite.
