Assuming you're talking about this Virtual Keyboard: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmpk/

Install it then go to EDIT Menu -> MIDI CONNECTIONS and configure as such:

Enable the MIDI Ports in Maschine's preferences:

If you're playing an instrument make sure the PAD/Sound MIDI Input is set to FOCUS and it should work (you can also make all Pad have FOCUS selected by default in Preferences -> Default -> Default MIDI Input Mode)

If you are triggering one-shot drum (Kits) then select DrumKit Key Mode in the Group MIDI Input:

There are other ways to configure it but this worked fine for me.

Tried following the instructions in that thread? Link to thread? You install loopmidi so the midi out from that app can loop back to midi in if whatever software you need. That is what I gather from the limited info in your screenshot.
