New MBP - Locating or Installing Expansions Issue
Hi,
Just purchased a new MacBook Pro (M3) and have all my NI content on an external hard drive. I've managed to relocate or install pretty much my entire library, except the Battery expansions (London Grit, Lilac Glare, Indigo Dust, etc.). When I open Native Access and try to "Locate" the folders, it says "invalid path". When I try to Install them it puts me on an infinite loop where it says "Installed" but the Install button still appears next to the expansion (see video link). ALSO - I can open up old projects that contain these expansion kits and they still work. ALSO - I can open the kits through the File>Open Kit function in Battery stand alone. BUT these presets are not showing up anywhere in Komplete Kontrol software or the normal Kits browser in Battery.
PS - I absolutely HATE the new Komplete / Kontakt 7 updates. These interfaces are seriously trash, don't even load all the proper instrument graphics, just trying to get you to use new instruments, and make it once again HARDER to find and use the instruments you need. Going to look to use other software for everything NI….

For fresh installation of NI Komplete bundle where you have previous installation Content on an external storage, do note that you can only do a Locate for Kontakt libraries but not Expansions—you have to reinstall them again.

Thanks for the response! Yeah I'm totally open to do a reinstall but I was trying to do that in Native Access and that's not working either (see my original video link).

If you want to install expansions to external storage, you need to visit Native Access > Preferences > File Management and change the Content folder field to point to your external storage BEFORE you install that package.
