There was an error rendering this rich post.

Maschine will not allow me to add any location to my user library.

The delete komplete.db3 does not fix the issue of allowing me to add a new location.

The issue actually seems to be the factory library has these locations in it and can not be deleted.

Does anyone know where to find that folder/file and delete it or modify it?

The best work around has been a symlink into the public documents - native instruments - user fulder.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well, more info would be helpful here, like what's your operating system, version of Maschine, etc…I'm not sure what you mean about the komplete.db3 file. Is that from one of our Knowledge Base articles? You can include screenshots to illustrate the issue too!

Have you found any workaround?

A friend of mine has the same problem with Maschine 3

He can't make any user librarie because Everytime he gets the error that the location already exists.

As mentioned for the OP that never got back. Some more info would be helpful here. Like your Operating system, where is your user library? If you have error messages, please post screenshots.

No error message, win 10

Well, this folder is by default the user library:

Documents/Native Instruments/Maschine 3

So if you add a folder that is inside of this same folder, it will not work, since the folder already exists. Hopefully I'm clear enough.
