Finally I found the issue (I'm running OSx). I hope this help anybody who has my problem:
No Firmware_Dir Path!
No Target PD FW
I've decompiled the binary and I found the program is looking for the firmware in the following folder: VL10x_Bin, but when you uncompress the file downloaded from this site, the structure is wrong, because the folder name is VL10x_bin. Do you see the difference? It's the capital B, so when I renamed the folder and started the program again, eureka, it works!!
