Isn't the Kontakt 7 Player a VST plugin in Komplete?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I just installed parts of the Komplete 14 package, and there is no Kontakt VST plugin installed in either of the VSTPlugins (32/64) directories.

Kontakt is only available as a standalone application.

FM8 and Bite for example installs a VST.

Isn't a VST of Kontakt included, or am I missing something?

It should be installed as a VST3 plugin

The thing is: The VST won't get installed in the default location ("C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\VSTPlugins 64 bit") or whichever location you have set in Native Access.

You will find it under "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3" instead.

This VST3 plugin location

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3"

is an industry standard location that all vendors are required to use if they are following the VST3 spec correctly.

NI (Native Access) uses this one automatically without any intervention.
