Update, looks like it's a problem with Kontakt 6 directly. When I try to open up the application, it's just crashing on launch. Reached out to the NI tech team about it.

Tried uninstalling and re-installing, no luck. It seems to be a VST2 file. Ran the log, but it didn't seem to log anything unusual... although it did delete Kontakt.dll registry key (probably from the disable option on the popup). Here's the snippet from the Kontakt player log (38): VSTSCAN: ---- 37: c:\program files\native instruments\Native Access\vulkan-1.dll ---- VSTSCAN: [ShortPath] c:\PROGRA~1\NATIVE~1\NATIVE~1\vulkan-1.dll VSTSCAN: [RegKey] Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64\Inventory\c:/program files/native instruments/Native Access/vulkan-1.dll VSTSCAN: ---- 38: c:\program files\native instruments\VSTPlugins 64 bit\Kontakt.dll ---- VSTSCAN: [ShortPath] c:\PROGRA~1\NATIVE~1\VSTPLU~2\Kontakt.dll VSTSCAN: [RegKey] Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Cakewalk VST X64\Inventory\c:/program files/native instruments/VSTPlugins 64 bit/Kontakt.dll VSTSCAN: Finished analyzing VST plugins - 27 of 34 VST plugins were scanned in this run VSTSCAN: Delete untouched - Scanning for plugins to remove...

Again, it seems like it's not establishing contact with the main point? VST to scan - c:\program files\native instruments\VSTPlugins 64 bit\Kontakt.dll VSTSCAN: ******* Analyzing VST plugins...

Afternoon, I recently downloaded the Kontakt Player 6 from Native Instruments and am trying to get it set up with Cakewalk (Windows 11). On every VST scan, cakewalk begins to scan the .dll file, but after a couple of seconds, throws this error: Not sure how to fix this. Help would be much appreciated!!
