Not sure what you were trying to install or when you were trying it. The old service center web-based installation was not accessible but now everything is done through Native Access which is quite accessible. The NI controllers can be had for as little as ninety nine dollars and the encoder knobs give feedback about which parameters are being tweaked. With an umpteen thousand presets in Komplete Ultimate, I'd say it's quite accessible and there are over a hundred blind users currently. You might want to revisit the NI eco system. Best, Slau
