Officially...

this is my first day of a vacation...and because of
computers I'm enjoying my morning coffee trying
to correct all the BS from simply trying to update
Guitar Rig 4.
 
So now I have a rant. Thank you Native Instruments.
 
I spend hundreds of dollars to suffer with trying to
get my PC back together because of...well now that's
the problem isn't it?
One expects to do a simple task and wind up trying to
get their PC working again.
 
Just restore....yeah, right. Why? Because...because the
**** doesn't work...after all, all I did was do an update..something
they said would correct problems THEY had with THEIR **** that
I bought.
Well that mistake won't happen again. I bought a 25 dollar program
that worked perfectly.
 
Starting my third attempt to restore one of the most common PC's
sold. If it all where a guitar I'd yank the strings off and show
those rockers how to really break a guitar....and nobody could rebuild it.
 
To top it off I have to use Firefox to even get on the NI site because it
says I'm not using IE8 when my PC says different...man I have to deal
with software that even argues when I'm not even envolved. What
a bunch of crap. I think I'm going to go back to analog....or quit recording.
 
Personally my time is worth more to me than fighting with this BS.
I'm way to redneck for this. I've never let anything or anybody push me around
like this digital **** has. Just pissed beyond being reasonable right now.
Kinda glad I don't have any M-80's...I'd love to pile all this **** up in the backyard
and blow it to hell.
 
Rant over?....I hope so...I have a vacation to enjoy doing the things I enjoy...music
use to be one...hope it is again soon.

I'd offer you my PC (including Zune), but you might just put me on top of that pile......

Funniest post by Mesh EVER!!!!!

Michael,

Take a step back from the machine and breath.....

That's a better choice Michael.

Good luck.

mike

Jon it's a wonder I haven't been arrested and committed.

Speaking from experience if you get yourself commited first then they can't arrest you.

Ok...now I'm wondering if I should be doing this in the bathroom.

I'm installing and a window pops up...please select a driver for you HARDWARE product.
and gives three choices...now how in the hell am I suppose to know?
I chose VST and it gives; Rig Kontrol, Session I/O, Guitar Rig Mobile I/O.

Any ideas so I can pick a driver for my HARDWARE?

I uncheck them all, cuz those are NI products I do not have. Simples.

I just installed Guitar Rig 4 (the one that came with X1) yesterday on my re-installation of all my software and unchecked those drivers as well (I don't have any NI Hardware). I haven't done a VST scan from X1 yet, but I'm hoping I won't run into this prob. when updating my stuff from NI....

Finally....back to where I started after a couple of hours.

Whatever the update is suppose to fix is now no concern
of mine. Matter of fact nothing NI will ever do will never be
any concern of mine. They got their last bit of my time and money.

Glad to see you're gettng back on track. Even with the software/hardware issues NI causes, the truth of the matter is NI makes excellent products (especially Kontakt) and I'm more than likely going to buy stuff from them in the future........most likely Komplete 8.  

I have had install problems with Kontakt before, but it ended up being a hardware issue, actually.  my DVD drive was not reading well for whatever reason.  when I used the other drive it worked fine.  of course the install didn't completely crap out until the last disk, and it took like 10 hours to install THAT far.

using the new drive only took about an hour, I think.

The joy of Komplete Ultimate 8 was that it was on a USB drive. I think the whole thing took under 30 minutes. And when I upgrade to Ultimate 9 I'll have a spare USB drive. YAY!!!

Did you install K8 onto your HD, or do you just use the USB drive to stream the sample content from?
(it's about a 100GB of content no?)
