LUA script: Global table 'Kontakt' is empty (nil value)

cinephos

1st attempt to work with Visual Studio and Kontakt LUA scripts.

I managed to launch Kontakt 8 from VS Run Task(*) and then I run the first lua script from the LUA API tutorial.

As you can see in the screenshot below, the 'Hello World" command is printed.

Yet, the Kontakt global object is empty.

This means that API falied to load the table?

What did I do wrong? Or what else do I need to do?

(*) In tasks.json, I replaced all instances of "Kontakt 7" with "Kontakt 8". I have KONTAKT 8 but not KONTAKT 7. I also enabled 'Developer Features" from Kontakt Options. I suppose that so far, I made no mistake.

II have already post a question here which received no answer. I expand the question now.

LUA scripts that produce result on the "Rack area" can be run from KONTAKT (by F11).

Same scripts fail on Creator tools as well as the VS code environment (previous post below).

The problem is the same: Global tables Filesystem and Kontakt remain empty, nil, do not receive data from Kontakt.

Any ideas what causes the problem on my system?
