[BUG] Native Instruments: Kontakt Crashes on install and launch #1

Closed frozensnowy closed 2 years ago

frozensnowy commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug

Native Instruments Kontakt crashes after installation, indicating it ran into a major problem and had to be terminated. It gives a path to a minidump. If it's loaded as a plugin, whatever it's loaded into crashes immediately without any error messages.

Steps To Reproduce

Expected behavior

The crashes shouldn't happen.

Screenshots/videos

None.

Additional context

The minidump is empty and/or corrupt, the data inside is invalid; It doesn't contain any information as to what's causing it to crash. I think it relates to registry key or file creation, perhaps a hardcoded path? We're running from M, not from a C drive after all.

A workaround to temporarily fix or get past the issue

Download Komplete Kontrol from Native Access and load Kontakt in there, it'll load successfully. After that, you can uninstall it and Kontakt will work fine after that. Further reinforcing my theory about a hardcoded path or something like that.

The issue has been reported to Native Instruments, they need to fix it. For now I can't do anything. I will update this issue if I find solutions.

Issue closed as the workaround is easy to do. This issue should really be fixed by Native Instruments instead. I'm not sure if they ever will though...
