It is also accessible through the Settings button (little cog wheel near the top right of the interface). ***The Options button is near the top of the Kontakt GUI. On the Interwebbies, some say delete, some say delete and empty the trash, but all I did is move the files out of that directory. **I simply moved out the files to another spot.

#KONTAKT FACTORY LIBRARY FAILED TO UPDATE INSTALL#
Maybe it was the install of the update thru the Service Center, maybe it was bad karma - I really don't know. As I suspected, there was some sort of problem with the Kontakt database. If this is the case please follow these steps.After much tussling with Mr Google and after having gone up a number of blind alleys, I have fixed the problem. If this is not the case despite the install being successful, it could be that the library is hidden by default. You should now see the library appear in your Libraries tab. Once you've selected the location, choose Select Folder.ħ) Click Install in Native Access, and then navigate back to Kontakt. But System Restore might not be successful at all times, it can fail due to various reasons. By doing a System Restore, the driver update will be undone, so the issue related to the update will be fixed. In this example, we'd need to browse to the "Spitfire Albion V Tundra library" folder. Say, for instance, you have performed a driver update and you r Windows computer beh aves strangely after that. For Spitfire Audio libraries this would be the location that the Spitfire Audio App downloaded to, and in most cases will be named " Spitfire. You'll now be prompted to navigate to the content location of the library. For this example we'll be registering Albion V: Tundra.Ħ) Once you've found the library in question, choose Add Library. Choose this option and navigate to the library you're registering.
