EP (K4) cannot find file

My EP has the correct path listed in the setup. I have verified this by trying to enter anything else, which fails.

Starting up EP tells me I need to activate it, because the K4 activation is botched.

But EP seems to be the ONLY product I can use now since it (probably by NI oversight or pure accident) still has a 30 day grace period.

My problem is not 100% similar to the others reported here. I do in fact see all the presets in the pulldown menu.

This is the message I get when I choose any patch:

Code:

Could not find sample:

F:\Native Instruments\Sample Libraries\Elektrik Piano Library\<ElektrikPiano_Lib_part2.nks>\MK1 Samples\Rel001.wav

No matter what I do, which sample I choose, or whatever God I pray to, I can't make it work. I have tried reinstalling EP but no joy.

It's basically just lying on top of the pile that is furious anger at NI at the moment, but I was hoping I could at least get one god damn product to work.

What do I need to do? Sell it?

 

On closer inspection it turns out that the second and third ElektrikPiano_lib_partX.nks files are 0 KB...strange. I have tried to reinstall them but no luck so far.

 

Solved. There is something funky with my K4 DVD #1. Manually copying the files simply takes about 2 hours. But it did work in the end.
