[BUG] VST location invalid

For Komplete Kontrol it states the vst could not be found at the installed location which is correct as I moved my NI plugins into a sub folder.

However, it gives the option to relocate the plugin and when I select the sub folder which has the Komplete Kontrol.dll plugin in it, it still states this folder location is not valid. If I just close Native Access and manually move the Komplete Kontrol.dll file back to where it should be it is fine and I can update.

This is on Win10

Seems it does not want to detect the file at a newly selected location.

 

I'm having the same issue. Was wondering if you found a way to solve this issue.

 

it's still broken.. I can't move the plugins as NA won't find them in any other folder...

I mean I can, as the hosts will obviously find it, but Native Access will always show it as a missing plugin.

 

Yeah, relocate only seems to work for library content...and that can a bit sketchy sometimes. For plugins, you have to reinstall them...most are relatively small, so reinstalling is a bit less of a pain in the ...

 

Ridiculous that this is still an issue.

 

Same problem with NI plugins (Bite, Choral, Driver, Flair, Raum, Replika etc.). When I try to relocate the path to their correct new location in NA, it says: "The VST64 location is invalid. Does it exist? Does the folder contain the 64bit VST?"

Yes, these paths absolutely do exist and are valid, and the plugins in question are right there. But no, somehow the relocation doesn't want to work...:/

 

You can manually change the paths by editing the associated registry key.

Edit registry keys at your own risk.

Under the registry key for Replika for example:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\Replika
You can set the value "InstallVST64Dir" to your new VST64 directory.

 

I made a post on this that got kind of buried. I think it's because of phased out 32bit binaries
