Error message for the below mentioned:
“Your version of Kontakt is too old to load this file. Please update to the latest version.”
I can access the instruments mentioned in Cubase using Kontakt Player 7, but not full Kontakt.
While I have reinstalled Kontakt, its \Common Files\VST3 “Kontakt.vst3” date is old “June 5, 2023, though the “Kontakt 7.vst3” in the same folder is a bit newer, May 27, 2024 – which seems weird since I reinstalled Kontakt today (June 12, 2024).
But maybe this isn't relevant and some other vst folder holds the updated version. I just figured I'd provide the info.
I have scoured the Net and the NI site to figure out how to fix this and have tried reinstalling some, including Kontakt itself and watched videos on how to fix individual instruments, but have found no solution yet.
There is no longer a way to see the vst plugins path in the current Native Access (only the plug-in instrument installation paths – which in my case are all on my music production D:\ SDD drive. Access shows no installation path errors.
But I can't tell if the non-working instruments' vst paths are now incorrect for some unknown reason.
I did not change any directories or change the location of any NI or other vst on my C:\ drive to have possibly caused this. It just started happening a few days ago for no apparent reason.
I haven't tested all stock Kontakt Komplete instruments, but it seems that the ones that have only one .nki listed as instrument have this error show up.
Such as Analog Dreams, Hybrid Keys, Low-Fi Glow, Cloud Supply, Ethereal Earth, etc.

While a different error, I also can't access my paid upgrade for Sessions Guitar Electric Sunburst called the Deluxe version (it also can only load it through Kontakt 7 Player now).
The non-Deluxe patterns-only version of Electric Sunburst shows up in full Kontakt and can be loaded. Reinstalled it, re-registered the serial number, re-activated. Still the same situation.
It seems that all of this may be connected somehow – or not.
Either way, I'm nervous about maybe needing to reinstall KK 13 for I have third party full Kontakt instruments that have presets, multis, etc. that I can't afford to lose. Andit seems I'd have to reinstall, re-register their serials, active, etc.
Or not?
Please advise what I should do. It seems that I need to do some global fix – my attempts at fixing any of these one by one has hit a wall and is totally overwhelming.
Thank you.
