Hi all,

I'm getting the error message "Your version of Kontakt is too old to load this file, which was saved with Kontakt v7.7.0.000. Please update to the latest version of Kontakt"

I tried the steps below to update the affected libraries, but the affected libraries still won't open in Kontakt.

I'm using Reaper as my DAW, please help!!! :)

    What version of Kontakt are you running?

    If you are trying to open a v7.7.0 library with a K7 instance that is older than 7.7 - you will get this message everytime.

    And what OS are you running? If it's an older Mac OS - (cannot remember which at the moment) you will also not be able to update to the latest Kontakt version anyway.

    Please update us on these two important facts first.

    I'm having a similar issue.

    1) Try using 40's Very Own. in Maschine 2.18.0

    2) I updated Konatkt 7(7.10.2) and kontakt 6 (6.8.0)-says so in Native Access (3.10.3)

    3) If I open Kontakt 7 in standalone and leave open, then launch Maschine Kontakt 7 works. If not, it gives the error and shows Kontakt as vers 7.1.5. Tried rescanning in Komplete Kontrol as well.

    tried reinstalling Kontakt as well. Still no go Anyone have this issue?

    Did you rescan from within Maschine itself?

    Rescanning in Komplete Kontrol will not help get newer versions for Maschine.

    what worked for me was just making sure I had the latest version of Native Access, then it prompted to get latest version of Kontakt 7.

    This issue just re-occurred for me, there was an update to Kontakt but there was no notification provided so I happened to re-try this fix (ie. got latest version of native access, saw new version of Kontakt 7) and the Kontakt 7 worked in Reaper DAW again
