If this step has not resolved your issue, please try the additional solutions below:
1. Library Download
If you want to add a 3rd party KONTAKT Library, ensure that the library is downloaded and unzipped as per the instructions from the manufacturer of that library. This may differ depending on the manufacturer as some use their own download manager to download and unzip the library files, while others will provide instructions on how to do this manually.
2. Security Software Blocking Installation
We have also found that in some rare cases, certain security software (such as BitDefender antivirus free edition, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware) could cause an issue with adding the library. Try temporarily disabling any additional security software you may be running.
3. Format of Harddisk
Hard drives formatted as "case sensitive" are not compatible with our products. The supported formats are NTFS for Windows and Extended (Journaled) for Mac OS 10.12 and earlier or Apple File System (APFS) for Mac OS 10.13 and later.
