reinitializing all NI databases

I was getting confused by all the different folder locations NI uses, (and Machines displaying the same patches twice etc) so i tried to put everything in folders that seem to make more sense to me. But now i am in trouble, cause a lot of files are missing in my browser. reinitialzing/rescanning databases doesn't solve it. So it looks like the only solution would be to completely reinstall K10U, maschine 2, komplete kontrol... Which would take a LOT of time, and probably some presets will be lost. so hopefully there's a better way??

 

It's best to think about a folder structure BEFORE installing and choosing the correct installation paths in the installation program.

This way you avoid getting into trouble later, be it in way you encountered or be it when installing updates.

 

Well, when i started with komplete 6 i installed it inside my samplelibrary folder, which seemed to make sense at that point. When i got an update i decided i didnt want it there anymore, also because i was afraid to lose my own presetes when i would install that update into the same folder. After that i updated to ultimate, later i got maschine and then maschine 2.0... But even if i installed everything correctly, then i would still have stuff under my documents, under program files, under common files, my shared library etc. Etc. Anyway, now i want to solve the current situation, and when i delete the database files of komplete kontrol as suggested in the knowledge base, and then let it all rescan, after that theres still my original installation folder listed. I also deleted some kontakt libraries which i never used and they are still there



The folder komplete 6 library doesnt exist anymore, but i am not sure how to fix it. I did find a folder with ini files which i think tells the system the initial installing folder, so maybe i can remove that? or search the system for all database files and delete them all, so all plugins get there database reinitialized?

 

The old no longer existing paths are still hidden in Windows Registry.

Sounds like a partial fix only.
