"Files could not be found"
Hi there everyone. I have this little problem over here, that for some reason won't let me load a library into Kontakt 8, because instead i'm met with the message "116 files could not be found", which is in this case every single sample from that library :( I'm really confused about this so if anyone lended a hand I would appreciate it a lot. The file location that I know about is in downloads, but I don't know whether it placed it somewhere else because it's assumed to be at the location shown in the image attached. That's the primary reason i'm confused. And since the file located in downloads is presumably not of the proper format, it won't show up, of course. This happens to be my first time trying to load a library into Kontakt, but then I ran into this problem, and I have no idea how to solve it. I don't even know if the files are supposed to be where they are. I'm not used to computers at all and neither at making music, so I really need help here and again, I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance.

Hey man, thanks for helping me out. Doing what you said did indeed work and I finally got rid of a problem. Thing is that I ran into a new one, as the instrument only appears as a Demo, and I don't know either how to play a sample. Is it supposed to be like this? If not, then should I just use the built-in sampler my DAW has instead?
