Resolve "Library currently not installed" error
When you try to load an Instrument in KONTAKT, you receive the following error message:
This instrument belongs to a library that is currently not installed
Causes
- You are trying to load a KONTAKT 6 (Player) library in KONTAKT 5 (Player)
- You are trying to load an instrument from the Files tab in KONTAKT while the library is not installed in Native Access.
Solutions
1. If your KONTAKT library is shown in Native Access as activated, but you receive this error message when trying to load the library via the Files tab of KONTAKT 5 (Player), it’s very likely that your KONTAKT library requires KONTAKT 6 (Player).
Please install KONTAKT 6 (Player) from the “Not installed” tab in Native Access. When you now open KONTAKT 6 (Player), the library should appear in the Libraries tab. Please note that KONTAKT 6 (Player) is only called ‘Kontakt’ in Native Access (and your daw):
2. If step 1 did not resolve the issue, please proceed:
Follow the steps below, depending on the type of library you have:
