Installing the older instruments
I'm just building a new system, with Win7 64bit, and have got round to putting samples on it. I'm a bit concerned about using the old installers for the Kontakt-based stuff, as I know they used to install a version of Kontakt player 2. It's possible to un-tick the player, so it doesn't install, but it still leaves an empty link in your program list, and I'm a bit of a neat freak.
Is it possible to use the install on one machine, then copy the extracted content to another, and force Kontakt to 'install' it through the libraries tab, by finding the inf file? I'm thinking the serial number has to be entered at the start of the install, so I'm guessing there may be registry entries on that machine, which wouldn't be on the one I take the content to. Has anyone tried it?
If that were the case, and I still try to point the library tab at the inf file, would it let me put in the serial number at that stage?
