Just got a Komplete Kontrol S49. Everything is running smoothly and I'm able to load instruments & plugins when using the stand-alone version of Komplete Kontrol. However, when I try to open the Komplete Kontrol VST in SONAR it complains that it cannot find any plugins. And sure enough under Preferences -> Plugins there is a blank list whereas in the stand-alone it lists all my various plugins. The folder locations are the same in the two instances. I did move the vst .dll initially as I wanted it in my VST folder, but I thought that moving it might have caused the problem so I simply added the install location to my VST list. Any ideas of what I could do to get the plugins scanned correctly in my DAW plugin?

Try moving the dll back to it's original location.  I have the S49 and I never had any problems.  I have noticed that Native Instruments are really picky as to where you install them.  Personally, I always use the default location when I install NI.
 
Hope this helps

 Yeah I did that and added the install location to the VST scan list...didn't seem to help unfortunately.

have you tried NI Forum?  https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/major-problem-with-komplete-kontrol-i-keep-all-my-vsts-organized-into-sub-folders-for-easier-brows.228212/
 

Ah that seemed to be the problem. For some reason, the standalone either scans plugins differently or processes subfolders where as the DAW version doesn't. I had put all my NI VST's in a subfolder. Once I added that to the search list, it loaded them just fine. Thanks!
