    If it's not working in Win 10 EITHER, that's bad. BTW of course all of us did the routine NI advises. Which absolutely does not work for me. Did all the Win 7 updates, the uninstall, the re-install, etc... Did it several times (definition of insanity). No luck.

    What started the nightmare for me was doing a fresh install of Win 7. Before that everything was hunky dory.

    Wouldn't be peachy if NI could bring themselves to, maybe, tell us WHERE in the installed Kontakt 5 directory structure the .dll file is supposed to be. Worse comes to worse, we could just go to the appropriate directory(ies) and paste a copy of the ms file.

    DLL is not installed in Kontakt 5's folder at all. It is supposed to be in your VST plugins folder.

    I went through the entire uninstall process and did a reinstall. I still get the same error. It says the disk is missing.

    Time to open RegEdit and delete any Kontakt 5 related registry keys.

    I did actually delete all the registry keys as well. I referenced a thread from a few years ago when I had a similar issue. Even after doing that, I still get this error.

    Unfortunately I'm out of ideas for you... in any case, W7 won't work with latest Kontakt versions.

    Ok so now mine works again on Win 10. I am thinking maybe the OS was updating and I wasn't aware...maybe?
    Now the only thing I can't get to work is my Roland TD-3 with Kontakt 5 in Pro Tools 11. That's for another forum though......update from this morning, 2-6...the same error is back. :mad:
