My Ableton (and Waveform DAW) cannot detect my Kontakt VST
I have set my Native Access to download Kontakt Player 7 into my special folder in my D: drive. Then I set my Ableton to scan that same folder. But somehow it comes out empty. I have downloaded Player 7 and the libraries along with it, but it won't detect. I did the same with my other DAW, Tracktion Waveform, and the same thing happens, it doesn't detect. Why is that?
Edit: it turns out the folder I supposedly placed my Kontakt vst files have no vst files in it, only the Kontakt exe file. Did I download the exe file only? How can I redownload the vst file?

Kontakt 7 has no vst2 plug-in, only VST3. VST3 files are installed by default in this folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 and it should stay there, make sure you enable VST3 in Ableton and your other DAWs. They will look in this default location.
