How do you prevent Traktor from installing a ton of unnecessary hardware drivers?

    When you install there should be a popup with a pre-checked list of drivers to install. Simply uncheck the gear you don't own.

    Creating a ticket will not help anyway - Native Access just behaves this way, and no matter what you or me or anybody else may think about it, it's just the way it is.

    Bear in mind that these drivers neither consume much space nor interfere with any operation apart from using the specific hardware devices they are designed for.

    Native Access does the installing (no options)

    I wonder if there is a file folder where the drivers can be deleted all at once?

    To delete the drivers, go into (for windows) settings ==> apps ==> select the driver you want removed ==> deinstall, one after the other. It's a pretty quick affair.

    In a lower version of Traktor 3, these drivers were optional at the installer startup and could be manually selected.

    It seems that the options only appear when you start the update-exe file by hand after downloading it instead of using native access for the update.

    erm, 90 clicks are a quick affair?

    Do I realy have to create a ticket for that matter?

    I guess 471MB (at least that's within the folders under Native Instruments) is now just considered nothing?

    This is stupid. If I initially install the software, and uncheck all of those boxes, then the upgrade process should see which drivers I have installed and only upgrade those. This is just lazy programming.
