Native Instruments Kontakt 6 v6.7.1 PORTABLE-vkDanilov

Kontakt.exe tried to connect to the internet. My antivirus stopped it. Haven't seen this before with any previous portable, including 6.7.0.

Can I use any of the files from portable version 6.7.0 to add libraries to 6.7.1 so I don't have to manually add the ones that don't have a ninct file? I have about 40 libraries that only have wallpapers. If i can avoid having to add them manually that would be great.

awesome! been waiting for it. the only version that i use.

I've had a long-running fight with the various iterations of Kontakt over the years. Installing and uninstalling them were a royal PIA. I then discovered portable which allowed me to load libraries without having NI activation files deeply hidden in the registry. At times, though, the portable versions would load libraries only in demo mode. Lately, however, they seem to have gotten this bit corrected. Still, that's why I'm hesitant about updating if my current version works fine.

Thanks a lot Kontakt Portable is awesome!

PORTABLE-vkDanilov is best！

Agree, Kontakt portable by vkDanilov is the best!
Was a looong time ago that I used a non-portable version :)

Features of the portable (PORTABLE) version:
1. Installation, including additional software (Service Center, Native Access, MS VS C++ runtime), is not required.
2. All settings are stored in the program's portable folder (the Windows registry and other system stores are not used, administrator rights are not required. (Super)administrator rights are required if the program's portable folder is placed in a protected system storage (for example, in Program Files) - this location for portable programs is unnatural and not recommended.
3. Integrated Library Manager, which provides full control over protected libraries, and also allows you to register unprotected (self-made) libraries without generating nicnt files.
4. Ability to work simultaneously with the installed version of the Contact without conflicts and with different settings.

Kontakt PORTABLE is not compatible with NKS (Native Kontrol Standard):
1. Instruments of NKS-compatible libraries added to Kontakt PORTABLE will not appear on the screen of an NKS hardware device (Komplete Kontrol or Maschine).
Accordingly, they cannot be selected, previewed and downloaded directly from the device's browser, but only through the interface of the Contact itself.
2. The controls of an NKS-compatible library instrument loaded into the Kontakt PORTABLE are not automatically bound to the controllers of an NKS device,
only manually in the standard way for external MIDI devices (MIDI Learn).

Is it possible to use this portable version, with old kontakt libraries?
Even the home made ones ?

Working fine here on win10 cubase 12 - thanks Hidera & vkDanilov! :)

Kontakt.exe 6.7.1 crashes in standalone. Kontakt.exe 6.7.0 did not. (Win7 SP1). What's the difference?

Very much appreciated, vkDanilov & hidera.
These are always flawless releases.

Thank you hidera
