Is there a secret to installing the free Kontakt Player?
I found a thread from 2018 that seems to have the same issue. No resolution.
I've downloaded Native Access. When I click "not installed" there is nothing there. Made sure I have the right email. It's just not there. It did say 'Reaktor 6 player installed successfully" without me doing anything, so that seems weird. I also have Kontakt Player 2 that needs to be repaired, but nothing works to repair it and I can't seem to uninstall it.
Is there an actual install file for the Kontakt player? I'm just trying to use a free sampled piano (the M Sound Factory Monastary grand), but their player sucks and the sustain pedal gets stuck and then it glitches out.
I'm chasing my tail here, not a fan of this installer. You follow the directions only to hit a brick wall when it says "click not installed and you'll see it", except you don't...

Oh Ok, that's good to know, in this case, this is most probably the source of the issue here: My Native Instruments Product does not work after using Migration Assistant / Time Machine / Carbon Copy Cloner (Mac OS)
Then you would simply do the following: Uninstall all NI programs following these steps: How to Uninstall Native Instruments Software from a Mac Computer
And then install from scratch with Native Access.

I put in my email. I get a link. It says to open Native Access and look under "not installed". there's nothing there.
It says "you have no products to install"
I do have a demo version of Kontakt installed, that I'm unable to uninstall. I also have a copy of Kontakt Player 2 that says it needs to be repaired, but the function doesn't seem to work. It wants to relocate but no matter what folder I choose it says the library path is invalid.

Oh, ok, so do you know where this Kontakt Player 2 is there? Kontakt 2 has been discontinued for years. Anyway your system seems to be a bit messed up. I'll contact you by email and give your case to our Native Access specialists.

Thanks. Yeah this is a MBP that was restored from a Time Machine backup from an iMac, that was restored from a Time Machine backup of another MBP from 2008.
