    Does Mint show up in Kontakt standalone? That's the first place to check. If it shows up standalone, check that the version of Kontakt that's being loaded in Logic is the latest version (8.3.0)

    Click on the 'N' in the top righthand corner of the Kontakt window. That should show you the about box and the version number. Pretty sure that works inside Logic, but I don't have that installed on the laptop I'm on to check it sorry.

    @ridmomusiq In Logic, Kontakt 6 will just show as Kontakt, without any version.

    Make sure you open Kontakt 8 and not Kontakt 6, this way you should see all the Kontakt libraries, even the latest ones:
