I assume there is no reason to put any native Instruments software on the C: drive.
I think I wrongly assumed in the past that it would operate faster there.
I have been able to move everything but Kontakt has some path issues I have to solve to remove it.
NI is a bit of a pain to delete and reinstall even on a fast network connection.

Why do bagpipe players walk while they play?
To get away from the noise
What kind of music should you listen to while fishing? Something catchy!

If it's any help, I have a folder on another drive: F:/NI_Content and I have probably all of the libraries and instruments installed there. I moved them there and there's some mechanism within their Native_Access to find them in their new location. I can't remember the exact mechanism, but it's either moderately intuitive or a web/NI search will find it.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.

Like Gordon I have the Kontakt program on the C drive and all of the patches on the D drive.
As Gordon said Native_Access had a function to locate said patches.
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?

Thanks guys
While dealing with the issues my internet connection has dropped by 90%
Tech is coming tomorrow
I was able to get Guitar Rig Pro 7 installed on a folder I created on the D: drive an Studio one found it
Looks like all this will resolve when the internet is working correctly

This new version of Native Access is causing some inconvenience due to its path issues. It often claims the path is invalid, even when the correct folders are clearly visible. This means you have to go through the hassle of reinstalling the software.
Progress is being made, albeit at a slow pace. Thankfully, my internet connection is back up to one gig most of the time. A technician is scheduled to come after lunch, but it's unlikely he'll be able to fix anything at my house, as there's nothing wrong here. The frustrating part with Comcast is that their repair guys in India lack access to the necessary tools, all of which are AI-generated. I had a pleasant conversation with a support agent from India last night, but he was even restricted from providing me with an IP address to ping in India. It's clear that Comcast doesn't expect its customers to have any technical knowledge.

This means you have to go through the hassle of reinstalling the software. Not necessarily. Look inside the named folder and see if there's another folder of the same name. If so, that is the correct folder. I found about 20 such folders during a recent move of my Kontakt/Komplete libraries.

Actually, Mike, it is only Kontakt I am having any issue with. I got most of it under control by manually typing in the path name Kontakt was looking for. All the rest of my Native Instruments software loaded without issue with Native Access.
I can say even with a one-gig internet download speed, the NI server is pretty slow. There always seems to be a bottleneck somewhere you can not buy your way out of.
I still have a little cleanup to do, but I have been busy with this new IK Multi Media Hammond B3X + Leslie Collection software implementation. It took me hours to figure out why the software would not learn the slider/switch info. The keyboard controller had to be set to Preset instead of Inst.
New skill sets always present issues.
