Native Access "Download failed"?

Hi All,

Since installing the new improved Native Access I am having ongoing issues with a "Download Failed" message, most recently with the latest KK update. But Block Primes has been like this since the Native Access major update. Why would KK update not download (tried for several days now)? (Windows 11 user)

    Turns out it was the content installation location that had to be changed. I don't know WHY since they were installed there originally. Maybe some kind of folder permissions issue caused by a windows update or something like that. Resolved at any rate...

    Hi,

    I have the same problem with MacOs, impossible to install one library (Session Guitarist - Strummed Acoustic) with Native Access 2, only this one 😫

    Same issue trying to install the newest kontakt factory library 2. Sometimes I get an error downloading and if it does download without an error it will hang during installation and not complete successfully no matter how long I wait. I had the same issue with Noire but after many attempts it installed.

    So are your libraries installed on a drive different from your OS and if so, did you try to install the content for just that library on your C: drive?

    Same deal here, same error message when trying to install Kontakt Libraries using Native Access 2.

    I'm on macOS 12.6.1 Monterey.

    It also complains about the application path (I'm using the default /Application) not being writable, while it actually is since I gave permission to native Access to access the entire drive. All other products (besides Kontakt libraries) got installed successfully anyway, which prooves the folder is indeed writable by Native Access.

    Only thing I did is to change the location of NI Libraries to my data drive vs. default location in /Users/Shared.

    Might try to revert to the above default... but assuming it works, I doubt that simply moving the libraries from /Users/Shared to my data drive will suffice, the paths within Kontakt probably need to be updated somehow, and I'm no Kontakt expert...

    Anyhow, this is obviously a Native Access bug, and a major one ! NI support please move on and fix that one, it's a really annoying bug, preventing us from installing some products we paid for. Initial post dates back to Nov. 9, more than a month ago...

    I had these same issues. Here’s what I did to resolve. Mac OS Monterey


    go to folder Native Instruments and go to about

    Change permissions to read/write across the board.

    keep the window open because even tho you change it, the system keeps reverting back to read only.

    no idea why this is happening, but it’s an issue.

    it will green light your downloads where it shows up red on the location path.

    I’ve been sitting here babysitting it and I’ve changed the permission at least 20 times since I started the process.

    this has been the root of all my issues. Getting a red flag even when I select default location.

    it’s the folder permission throwing the flags.


    hope it helps.

    If you keep having a failed download with permission set as it should be. This is what I did to resolve those issues.

    the path is correct, but whatever changed they made with this update (NI 3.1.0 Dark ver) it will try to put the install the download on the wrong path.

    manually go to the path and find “blank” instrument. For me it was the “Kontact factory library” that kept failing.

    i went to browse path (click the library download path) - searched “Kontakt factory library” - look for the .nicnt file - click it and you’re done.

    however, if the file isn’t there… which the first time around for me - it wasn’t. So inhad to erase folder and redownload it.

    second time around that .nicnt was there I clicked that folder / path and it instantly installed.


    im finally finished and up and running.

    hope it helps.
