convert the MPP to a PPR then convert the PPR to a MPX
I did not got any problem using this convertor...
Are you getting this error message for any project you want to convert or just for one particular project?
In any case verify the followings:
1) the project must be closed when performing the conversion
2) you have the rights to read and write on the project and in the destination folder

Pranab,
either download the converter from www.sciforma.com, it works better than the Primaveras
or have a look at Paul E.Harris site and follow his instructions
