    Please help me with this!
    From the Tech Support I got 5 iso-files to re-install Kontakt 5. I'm new to work with iso-files. The only clue i got is to install Virtual Clone Drive, which I've done.

    I have these files: Kontakt_5.iso and 4 other iso's: Kontakt_Disc_A.iso, B, C and D.

    With Virtual Clone Drive I can only mount (whatever that means) one iso.file. The Kontakt_5.iso contains the Setup.exe. The other iso-files are in my download folder.

    I tried to install with the Setup-exe in the virtual drive. But then it asks to enter Disc A to install the Library and here it goes wrong. When I click OK nothing happens. I suppose the installer expects the physical dvd, but I need the iso-file to do the job.

    I tried to burn one iso-file to dvd (cause the installationprogram asks for discs), but the file is too big. So this doesn't work either.

    How can I get the Libraries installed?

    After you get asked by the installer to insert disc A, unmount the first ISO and mount the second ISO to VCD. Repeat until all ISOs are used by the installer.

    The DVDs (consequently the ISO files) are for dual-layer DVDs, so that's why you couldn't burn them, you probably used a single-layer DVD for burning.

    Hi
    I found this whilst awaiting NI support to get back to me. In my instance I have the dvd set minus the first disc. So I downloaded the first disc. I can not get it to jump from the virtual drive (poweriso) to reading the DVD. Anyone have any idea about this situation?

    I also couldn't get it to continue by mounting Kontakt A which I downloaded. I did not demount the first disc, just mounted A over the top. Maybe thats where I went wrong. I really don't want to have to download the whole program.
