In my frustration over the same problem described in this link, I have found a solution throught a piece of software called Portfolio Project (Company name Portfolio Planner)
If you are using Microsoft Project 2013, 2016 or 2019 there is now a much easier way to import between Microsoft Project and P6. XerTransfer is a new product that allows you to open and save XER files in Microsoft Project. You can simply save your Microsoft Project file as an XER file and import it directly into P6. You can download a trial version at https://xertransfer.com/

select Environment Variables
look under system Variables tab an see if there is a and Existinh Java_Home variable if so hightlight it and then click edit button at the bottom if not click New button
If you selected NEW the the Variable name tyep JAVA_HOME (in all caps)
for the Variable Value paste the location from the clip board where you found the Java
Click OK then click OK again close the "view basic info about your computer" window

There is no other project with the name 'P-000000'
We have the project 'P-000000.' . When we tried to remove the dot that currently exists on this number to remove a reporting issue. The error occurs - 'The value entered for project id must be unique'. Please guide
Data/given names are example data only to understand the issue
When importing the XER file to P6, some activities are not shown.
When accessing from the click on a predecessor activity, then a greyed out activity was shown at the bottom of the activity list which could not be modified or deleted. When importing the file a second time, it only brought in some of the activities. The third import brought in a blank page with no activities.
Other teammates tried to import by .XML, .MPX and were unsucessful in getting complete set of activities in. please guide.
Thanks

The way i see it (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that the function (import) works well if you are using the a windows account with an administrative privileges and when you are using other account (probably has limited or no administrative privileges) it doesn't work. If this is the case, the account (the one that has limited or no administrative privileges) is blocked from accessing java features or some portions of it which is probably needed by Primavera to proceed with the import correctly. You can try to see if you can have special privileges over java or the directories to which it is residing or connected to from your IT.
OK, I get in now. But I could not understand what difference it would make to uninstall and re-install Primavera back? The problem arises due to my not being allowed to access that specific Java.exe file which works under a directory c:/.... something. Even if we tried to change the my permission settings as a user for that directory, the problem still continues.
As I said in my first post, everything works perfectly when logged in as admin (to Windows not Primavera), which makes me think that the problem is not related to Primavera settings. That's why, I really doubt that uninstalling and re-installing Primavera will work.
I am able to import only the non resource and non cost loaded schedule from 2007 to P6.0, but am not able to view it properly in P6.0 like I can view only the activities but not the dates, durations. May I know what are the modifications to be done while importing so that it is eligible sschedule.
Some time ago I had the same problem and an IT guy solved it. As I remember it was similar to what your colleagues tried. I had no read/write acess to the directory with the Java.exe. The import tries to write a log file (type: xml) which was the real reason: I had no sufficient write access. Then it worked without any difficulties.

I am using mpp2mpx converter and then importing it in P6.0.
I have no idea about the settings to be done while getting it imported, can you guide me?

Rohit
Which format do you use? --> XML?
Did you check your import options --> the settings for resources? Maybe there is the reason.

Sorry, I don't remember what he exactly did.
To your second question: IMHO it should be ok.
Good luck!
