NXLog Community edition not finding modules

Hello,
I am getting an error loading modules with a trivial configuration.
The nxlog.conf configuration file:

# ############ BEGIN nxlog.conf
Panic Soft
#NoFreeOnExit TRUE

define ROOT     C:\Program Files\nxlog
#define CERTDIR  %ROOT%\cert
#define CONFDIR  %ROOT%\conf\nxlog.d
define LOGDIR   %ROOT%\data

define LOGFILE  %LOGDIR%\nxlog.log
LogFile %LOGFILE%


<Input in>
     Module  im_null
#     Module  im_file
</Input>
<Output out>
#    Module  om_tcp
#    Module  om_file
    Module  om_null
</Output>


# Connect input 'in' to output 'out'
 <Route DefaultRoute>
     Path        in => out
 </Route>

# ############ END nxlog.conf

The error:

2022-03-22 15:05:24 ERROR Module missing at c:\Program Files\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf:21
2022-03-22 15:05:24 ERROR module 'out' is not declared at c:\Program Files\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf:27

If I try to load more modules with following configuration, things gets more worse:

I get same errors on two 64 bit machines (Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012R2)
Tried with processmonitor.exe to see if nxlog-processor.exe fail to load the dll module but I do not see any load attempt.
I suspect that I must missing a macroscopic thing but am unable to spot it.

Using nxlog-ce-3.0.2272.msi Community Edition for Windows 64 bit.
Any hint will be appreciated.

Regards.
Carlo
