    I am not sure what you mean by "Direct Folder".

    I would suggest following the normal Komplete 8 installation directory suggestions, with one exception -- if you have multiple hard drives you will get best performance if you install the software apps normally (e.g. C:drive) then specify your second hard drive to hold the library content.

    Maschine should be able to find where your Komplete 8 data is located automatically.

    I would suggest installing Komplete 8 first, followed by Maschine.

    dear members,
    i have installed first komplete 8 ultimate, then maschine as you suggested.
    i have a problem - i dont see anywhere installed instruments such as session strings, scarbee, effects and else.
    during the instalation everything was ok, but for example i dont see shortcuts to those products (reaktor, massive etc are there)..
    can you help me and tell me what went wrong ?
    thanks in advance,
    ss

    edit : no plugins work.
    all are loaded in a banks, but they do not work.

    Similar Problem

    Hi everybody,
    sorry for reanimating a dead horse, but I got similar problems and this is the only thread which seems appropriate.
    First things first: My machine has several HDDs, of which a 60GB SSD (10GB free) is the main system partition, and up until now, a secondary 1TB HDD (260GB free) was my "Native Instruments" drive.
    I already installed my Maschine with all content and stuff on this drive, works just fine without any problems.
    Now I bought Komplete 8 Ultimate and tried to install it, but either I got something terribly wrong and act stupid, or it just doesn't work the way I want:
    I tried to install it the same way as I did with Maschine, all content to the secondary drive (yes, I know, NI says install the applications themselfs on your system drive, but so far I didn't care because it worked well with Maschine).
    But here's the problem: The APPLICATION actually goes to the N: drive, and so does the CONTENT (e.g. Mouth, Finger, etc. for Reaktor), but not the (factory?) LIBRARY of the application. So I have, as an example, all the sounds, libraries and samples of, let's say Absynth, still on C:/Program Files/Common Files/...
    This just eats up my SSD like nothing and this way I can't even install just two of the main apps.

    Is it really supposed to work just this way, or can I somehow move ALL the content to the other drive.

    I already searched the forum with the keywords "Komplete" "installation" and the two of them combined, but couldn't find anything that helps me in this particular matter.

    Help is much appreciated.

    I cannot check at the moment but I did not think that the flies in "Common Files" were that large. How much space is Absynth using there?

    Anyway, files located there cannot be moved, as far as I know.

    Hi DarkStar,
    thanks, but I already got rid of the problem. I sourced it out to the secondary drive the admin way :D

    Consider this solved.

    BTW: Afterwards it's about 2GB in size, I think it was the installation itself that ate up all the disk space.... now I just need to get the Reaktor factory libraries running, oddly only the "Content" instruments like Prism create sound, all others stay quiet... the adventure continues...

    EDIT: Problem solved, wrong tree... loaded instruments instead of ensembles *DOING* :eek:
