Running the Komplete installation after Sonar is already present, the Komplete installer automatically should offer the VST plugin paths to go into the Cakewalk VST plugin path as currently set in the Plugin Manager.
And if Sonar is using default behavior, it should pick up the new Komplete plugins automatically when Sonar starts. If needed, you can always run a plugin scan through the Cakewalk Plugin Manager.
Also, I am wondering if perhaps you haven't finished the authorization process for your new Komplete install. You should have launched Service Center and completed the authorization process, and also downloaded and installed any available component updates. (once everything is authorized, the Service Center application has a tab for Update that will compare installed components against current maintenance levels, and present any available ones for download and install right from the Service Center.
By the way, when you DO get the plugins to start showing up, you will see 3 available Kontakt versions - Kontakt has 3 flavors of the program that each have a different number of available audio outputs (8, 16, 64, I believe). There are a couple of ways of distinguishing them - anytime I install Kontakt I go into the Cakewalk Plugin Manager and look at the properties of each of those 3 Kontakt dll's, and in the details you can see the number of outputs for each. I then rename each module per its associated number of outputs (Kontakt - 8 Outs, Kontakt 16 Outs, Kontakt 64 Outs), and thereafter I can always pick the desired one based on that instance's output needs.
