Kontakt Factory Library 2 install wrongly sees free space on MacOS

PiotrS

Hi - it seems that the installer on MacOS / M1 cannot correctly calculate free space.

I have a 2TB drive with 660GB free, and the installer says

"Installation has been prevented

You do not have enough free drive space to install the product(s):

• 158 GB required on "Macintosh HD" please free an additional 34 GB"

Any ideas?

OK, nevermind - just found this:

Anyway - please NI just fix this error :-)

Out of curiosity, were you using Native Access 2? The new Native Access has a slight better handling of this issue: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/native-access-2/

Hi Jeremy - I was using Native Access 1.14.

Thank you for the suggestion. I actually did not know that Native Access 2 is not an update to N.A.1, so I downloaded version 2, but unfortunately... running it gives me "Dependency installation process is taking longer than normal..." - forever. I tried to run the M1 version.

It seems I need to go back to 1.14.
