Why do they make it so complicated to unzip these things? Or is this a bug?

Please only comment about the content of this release. General statements such as yours could be taken as insulting, which we cant have here. TY

Not complaining. <Edited>

I am sure the people who are having trouble with MORiA's password is copying it wrong.
make sure there's no space before and after when copying

It would be nice, but I don't believe it's possible. Patching AAX binaries breaks the checksum inside the AAX format. Unless MORiA uses another method, similar to what R2R does on their releases.

This release is absolutely fine and works like every other MORiA release. You just have to use common sense and pay attention to what you're doing.

When you extract the zip, make sure both files are named the same way (if you download the parts from rapidgator and katfile you have to either use Spaces or Underscores - doesn't matter which you choose but both files need to be the same "format"). Also, I recommend you use Keka to extract the files and if you're double clicking to open, make sure to double click the *.zip file, NOT the *.z01 file.

Finally, as someone else has already mentioned when you copy the password to enter it in, make sure that an extra space is not included (if you double click the password text to highlight it, it will included a space at the end because of the return/next line marker in the page text).

Pro tip, I saved the MORiA pw to a note so I can just copy and paste it from there because I often shut the browser tab that has the pw before the files finish downloading.

Good luck!
y'all got anymore of those plugins??

Hi,
Everything's great apart from my various older libraries, such as "Orchestral Colours", which says it needs activation. Is there a solution to this around this?
  Member 6.10.2019 1 15

Hey guys

Downloaded and unzipped it without any problems.

When I try installing it though, on macOS Monterey (intel), it says:

"Failure
No previous installation found.

Please run the full product installer before running this update installer."

Maybe I misread or skipped something... is this an upgrade ?
Does it have to be installed over a previous version ?
I don't have a previous version of Kontakt installed in my computer.

Thanks
