i've been using Pianoteq VST in BIAB with great success for a year.
however, i just installed the Kontakt 5 Player VST, and am having trouble.
1) the Kontakt Player VST installed fine: - i can run the stand-alone Kontakt player - I am able to add the 32 bit VST as a plugin in BIAB. 2) I can open the VST plugin from the Thru track in BIAB. 3) in BIAB, if i hit keys on the virtual keyboard built in to the VST, i hear the expected sounds. 4) but, if i play the BIAB keyboard for that track i don't hear any sounds. i also don't hear sounds if i assign this VST to a pre-recorded MIDI track(solo) that works fine for the Pianoteg VST. 5) to me, it seems that BIAB is not successfully forwarding MIDI to the VST, but that is just a guess.
The Thru track is probably sending the notes on a different channel than Kontakt is set to receive them.
By default, the Thru track is on MIDI channel 5, so it would work if you loaded the sound into the fifth slot in Kontakt
Alternately, load your sound into the first slot in the Kontakt interface, and select Forced MIDI Chan = 1 in the VST/DX Synths/Plugins window, so any notes sent to the Thru track are automatically rechanneled before reaching Kontakt.
In this screenshot, I'm doing the same thing with SampleTank (I don't have Kontakt on this machine). The Thru track is still set to channel 5, but the notes will reach SampleTank's channel 1 and get played.
In addition to what's been noted above, personally the way I've found the only way to get MIDI play through in Kontakt 5 (I've not tried forcing to MIDI channel 1, and I see it's worked for you, so I have no idea why I'm chiming in here :-/ ...), but I got it to work by selecting "Omni" in the dropdown menu as shown in the screenshot.

Yes indeed as above, I normally use OMNI but sometimes chose the specific midi channel in the Kontakt to match the track channel in BIAB, but more especially in Realband when using multiple instances of Kontakt on different tracks. Have fun Mike
