Install Kai's Power Tools (KTP) 3, 5 and 6 on Windows Vista

April 19, 2008 · 8 Comments

If you've tried to install your old-school (e.g., MetaTools, MetaCreations) Kai's Power Tools on Microsoft Windows Vista, you've certainly discovered that the installers, like so, so many others of their generation, are incompatible with Vista. Don't even bother with Vista's "Compatibility Mode;" it won't help. Sure, you could purchase the newer KPT suite from Corel, but this collection doesn't include all of the tools from KPT 3, 5 and 6. Whatever will you do without Spheroid Designer?! Furthermore, you've probably just emptied your bank account on Adobe suite upgrades for Vista compatibility. Now, do you really want to purchase a "best of" collection of KPT when you already own the complete works?

Thankfully, there's a solution. Kai's power tools aren't themselves executables but Photoshop plug-ins and, as such, you need only extract the contents of your KPT 3, 5 and 6 CD-ROMs in order to install the respective files into your imaging apps. Here's how:

Install KPT 3, 5 or 6 on a pre-Vista computer (e.g., Windows 95, NT, 2000, XP). Of course, if your prior installation of KPT is still available, you can retrieve the files from that PC without reinstallation.
By default, the KPT 3 installer places the KPT files in C:\Win32App\KPT. Later versions prompt for your Photoshop Plug-Ins directory, but note that you needn't have Photoshop installed on the target computer in order to proceed with the installation. For this article, I've installed KPT 5 and 6 to C:\Win32App\KPT5 and C:\Win32App\KPT6, respectively. Can't find the files? Mixed 'em together? A complete file listing for KPT versions 3, 5 and 6 is supplied below.
KPT 3 also installs KPT3HUB.DLL and KPT3HELP.HLP in C:\<windows root>.
KPT 6 also installs KPTW600.TXT in C:\<windows root>\MetaCreations.
In accordance with the License Agreement, backup the directory (and subs) and any files from steps #3 and #4 to CD-R so that future installations won't require the older OS. While you're at it, you might as well paste a copy of these instructions in there.
Copy the directory (and subs) to your Vista PC's Photoshop plug-ins directory. For example, in Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista, the default plug-ins directory is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins. Copy each KPT installation to a separate subdirectory of the aforementioned Plug-Ins folder. For example, I've copied each KPT version to the following directories, respectively:
- C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\KPT 3
- C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\KPT 5
- C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\KPT 6
Copy any files from steps #3 and #4 to their respective locations in Vista.

That should do it. Fire up Photoshop and get weird with your ol' KPT faves. Enjoy!

I have followed your instructions and have exactly the files from KPT 3 transferred into Photoshop 7 plug-in files, but it did not solve the problem of freezing. In my opinion KPT 3 filters were for me the most creative.

Kind regards, Gerald.

The problem is not with the WINDOWS programme. It is the LATER VERSIONS of PHOTOSHOP that are the problem. I now have installed an earlier version of PHOTOSHOP 5.5 and the KPT 3 filter set works perfectly. Wow, I am very happy with this and recommend others do likewise.

Kind regards, Gerald.

I have installed them on vista, but now it keeps on asking for the serial each time i launch one of the plug in programmes? Any suggestion how to solve this?

Thanks so much for this got them all working thanks to you in windows 7. For kpt 3 u need to find the hub file and copy it into ur windows 7 or Vista windows directory.

Thanks again

What is a "hub file"?

I went through all the steps and get the same pop up once in photoshop saying since I haven't registered I have to put in my name and serial number. I wasn't having a problem with any install except KPT 3 prior. Just the registration errors. And for some reason it's only affecting 6 and 7, not 5.

I can't believe KPT is still around!
