All this is correct.

ADVICE1:
    does other simple VXCMD function works: DebugLevel? Valentina_Error?
    if yes, this means that VXCMD was found and loaded.
    
    also you can download and install dbgView utility.
    to see output from VXCMD commands.
    If you see Valentina messages then this also confirm that VXCMD
    itself was found and works.

Aha!

This means that you probably have forget to call ValentinaInit()

Hmm, so call it...

Try put it INTO folder of your stack also.
