Many users have experienced missing libraries (with ninct) in K8 that still show up in K7, K6, etc.

Here's the fix:

Go to:

Windows: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Native Instruments\installed_products"
Mac: "Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/Native Instruments/installed_products"

Zip the folder for backup.
Then delete the original contents of folder.
Relaunch Kontakt 8. Kontakt will instantly replace deleted files with updated versions and you will now see the libraries updating on the instrument interface.

- If you moved library files prior to this, you should use the add library tool to update locations.

I deleted the file Kontakt 8.json from that location, relaunched K8 and still no Factory Library is showing in K8 or Native Access :(
It won't even let me add it in Native Access.

What to do?

Installing Kontakt 5.6.0. and adding the library with v5 worked for K8.
Only real guaranteed solution so far.

Thanks MORiA. So dependable.

Quick question: Does anyone know why some previews play and others don't? For example even though the Conflux and Alicia Electric Keys previews are present they don't play where as Analog Dreams previews play when you click on them. Any ideas?

Alicia Electric Keys library you're mentioned is not legit so it always depends on the way it was cracked. Some of them generate preview sound the others - do not. So no rules here. I guess you can live without preview as long as you like the sound and the library would not cause crash - which some of them do.

Whenever I try to open up .zip I get an error that says "This file is not supported"

Woof. I've always had a bit of a headache with Kontakt 5 and 6, creating NICENT files, wondering why my libraries don't show up, etc. (Mostly skipped version 7.)

I wonder if it's time to wipe all my Kontakt libraries and start anew with 8?
My Komplete Kontrol keyboard has never successfully showed k-ed libraries.
Hmmm, what would you do?
