Max and Kontakt
I have Kontakt 5 loaded as a vst plugin in Max, but am not getting any sound. I have Kontakt on with an instrument loaded, and the output it st. 1 and the Midi channel is port A: from Max 1 + others. In the Max patch, I clicked plug and chose Kontakt 5.vst. What have I missed?

Here (OSX/Max64 6.1.6 with Kontakt Player) your patch works correctly.
Did you turn DSP on? (sorry if this is too obvious)
BTW, use Edit->Copy Compressed for posting your patches.
