    You would need to contact NI Support to see if this available as a standalone download.

    No such thing as freeform "previous" downloads from NI for years now.

    As already pointed out by VP then you will have to ask N.I. NativeAccess and Installation Support to see what they say.

    I myself only got a link for Mac version 1.20 and nothing for PC.

    In case that you need guidance contacting support : Please read : how to get support !

    Thank you very much for the link and sorry for the delay (I had to download twice because the first download were bad.)

    Guessing from what I can see from setup file then it is KFL 2 version 1.0.4 , though of course I know so little about these files that I do not know if that is just the setup file version rather than the library version.

    You are welcome , and yes that appear to be an old version , and worse is then the Mac version 1.2 that I got link for have to be only Factory Selection because after downloading the version 1.04 then I now know that what I have been told was KFL 2 v 1.2 simply can not be that because I also tried downloading that for compare and that download is only 353 MB - and since I were told that it were KFL 2 then I for months have thought so even though that it is not so. (I never downloaded it before.)

    Anyway , if the Rich_NI KFL 2 version 1.0.4 is too old then you will have to approach N.I. NativeAccess and Installation Support to see what they say.

    @PoorFellow sorry, else question (for not to create new topic), if you know - i noticed that old (pre v1.4) content exists in form of iso what contain not only zipped packs, but also exe installer.
    Whereas v1.4.1 content have no installer and no archived parts, instead downloaded via manager in form of ready to go files to specified area, with no install i mean.
    So, in sense of offline installation (to fresh system) - do we really will not need installer for mount v1.4.1, and all what we will need it's just specify already downloaded files ?

    Sorry , you lost me there , I have no idea what it is that you are comparing to.

    I guess that when you refer to "i noticed that old (pre v1.4) content exists in form of iso" that you are then referring to the KFL 2 version 1.0.4 ? ,

    but I don't know what download that you are referring to when you refer to :

    "So, in sense of offline installation (to fresh system) - do we really will not need installer for mount v1.4.1, and all what we will need it's just specify already downloaded files ?"

    If what you are referring to is that if you download the old KFL 2 version 1.0.4 can then activate it in Native Access then I have never tried any of this , but if you did not had any KFL 2 installed prior and then installed the KFL 2 version 1.0.4 then I guess that you could activate it using Native Access , but as I wrote then I have never tried any of this myself .

    @Mert_NI , ab459 wants a Kontakt 7 Factory Library 2 (v1.3.0) - download link , since I did not have a newer version download link then I gave the link to the old KFL 2 version 1.0.4.

    Could you please help ab459 get clarified what procedure that you'd want ab459 to follow ?

    @PoorFellow Heh ok sorry for that. (No no i not meant v1.0.4). Ok let's i say other way:

    1. When i download K7 KFL2 (v1.4.1, latest version) via NI manager (Native Access) - this is download all files directly to "Content Location" (without "Download Location" and next unpacking\installing process).
    2. Whereas (judging by my observation that based at googled various sources) - v1.3.0 (and earlier versions i guess) - had packed structure, in before-install form (like iso etc), inside which was an .exe installer.
    3. So if this right, then my question is: if i reinstall Windiws (i'm on PC, Win10), then, in case of v1.4.1 - do i will enough just add folder (in K7 options) with downloaded 1.4.1 content for his work ?
      Or in other words - what role did the exe installer in earlier versions? (Just unpacker maybe idk)

    Thank you for your explanation. (my apologies , this is all that I got : )

    As a Moderator then one is not given any special access to any kind of tech insider knowledge about installers of Native Access, so the knowledge that I have on subjects like that is not greater than that of anyone else. However it is correct that at some point then Native Access started to use what Hayo_NI called 'slim content tech' :

    Quote Hayo_NI on October 2023 :

    installers are going away in most cases and switching to slim content tech that removes the need for installers. This will also allow you to update products by updating only the files affected. Ergo, we're not investing much more time on enhancing the experience with our existing installers right now, unfortunately.

    Anyway , if you are looking for information about install and re-install then I have these links :

    Install :

    You should be able to click the three little dots right to the install options and there select Locate ,reference : Reinstalling a Komplete Bundle Without Re-Downloading Kontakt Libraries
