How do I fully remove Kontakt 6 on Windows 11? Just shows Repair

CakeAlexS · July 1

Hello, I do I fully remove Konakt 6, it just shows "Repair" every time.

I don't want Kontakt 6 Player (I have full version of Kontakt 8).

Reinstalling (which will get rid of "repair") and then uninstalling (bring backs "repair") does not work via Windows "Installed apps".

NI Uninstall RegTool_64bit.exe doesn't get rid of it either (whether it's installed or uninstalled).

Googling shows me this is a common problem, maybe this app needs updating so that uninstall can work correctly?

Thanks!

Try to delete the Kontakt Application json file. Kontakt 6 is appearing here as Kontakt with no version.

@CakeAlexS Have you installed like this? How to Uninstall Native Instruments Software from a Windows Computer

After that, you might need to manually remove the installed product json file for Kontakt 6 in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Native Instruments\installed_products\Kontakt 6.json

I've tried to install via Native Access and via standalone package.
I've tried to uninstall via Windows Apps and Features (Native Access does not offer the facility).
And I've tried reg cleanup with the NI tool.
In every order I can think of.

I can't find the file I'm afraid (note hidden files are displayed).
