Moving the dll didn’t work. But actually I found something interesting. The following file:
Vst2xPlugin Blacklist VSTAudioEngine3.xml
contains the following entries:
<item>
<obj class="FNPath" name="path" ID="363384304">
<string name="Name" value="Kontakt 5 16out.dll" wide="true"/>
<string name="Path" value="C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\VSTPlugins 64 bit\" wide="true"/>
<member name="FileType">
<int name="MacType" value="1936223330"/>
<string name="DosType" value="dll" wide="true"/>
<string name="UnixType" value="dll" wide="true"/>
<string name="Name" value="Module" wide="true"/>
</member>
</obj>
<int name="is32bit" value="0"/>
</item>

</item>
Why are these Native Instrument paths blacklisted?
