1) Merge content of folder 1 with your C:/Program Files

There should be 2 directories set like that:


C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Helper
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Kontakt

2) Copy Standalone and plugins files:

-If you use aax, [Link] folder should be under C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins

-Copy .exe where you like. Default .exe path is:


C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Kontakt\[Link]

-copy .dll to your vstplugins own/custom directory. Default vst paths are:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugins\Native Instruments\[Link]
C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins\Native Instruments\[Link]

3) Run "Kontakt 6 [Link]"


This simple batch file will add Kontakt paths to registry, and make Add [Link]
run as admin.

* If you choose different locations than "default" ones, open .cmd in any text
editor, change paths with your own paths, save and run.
Or, run (default/unchanged) .cmd and then edit registry directly there:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\Kontakt Application.
Note: You can also delete values/lines (in .cmd or in registry) for plugins
versions you won't use (aax, or 32bit for example)

**You can also put "Add [Link]" file anywhere you like, as it can be run in
standalone.
To be able to open Add [Link] from within Kontakt in case you changed its
default location, open (default) .cmd with any text editor,
replace default path with your own "Add [Link]" path, save and run.
Or, run (default/unchanged) .cmd, then edit "ExecutablePath" value (to put your own
"Add [Link]" path) in registry here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Native
Instruments\ALSupport
and change C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Kontakt\Add [Link]
value (with your own "Add [Link]" path) there:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
But, anyway, the easiest is to let it in its default place, and make a shortcut if
you need standalone Add [Link].
Note: "Run as admin" flag can also be set manually: right click on Add
[Link]/properties/compatibility/run as administrator.

***Final note: Kontakt and (standalone) Add [Link] work from scratch without
the need of any registry value, in fact.
The only two things really needed are the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Native
Instruments\ALSupport, to be able to call Add [Link] from within Kontakt
(otherwise Kontakt can't find it)
And the run as admin flag for Add [Link] (adding library only works if ran as
admin).

***Fix Note: It seems Add library was not working inside DAW ([Link]) for
everyone, it's because wrong key is called by 64bit .dll: ALSuppotr instead of
ALSupport (yeah, really).
So I just added this one too (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Native
Instruments\ALSuppotr) to the reg keys command.
