Hello there!
Thanks for reaching out. Have you tried following our guide on how you can get the P-CAD importer installed in your Altium here: http://blog.snapeda.com/2019/03/20/how-to-install-the-p-cad-importer-in-altium-designer/
You should follow the instructions for versions 14+. After installing the importer and you still encounter an error, please let us know immediately so we can help you solve it.

But still getting the error.

Do you want to retry?

Thank you again for your response. After click on "Apply" and it starts the installation process meanwhile this error occurs. I've emailed you screenshots as well.
Thanks and regards,

Hi Talha,
I just received the screenshots. It seems that you are not signed-in to Altium and that maybe explains why you were not able to install the PCAD importer. Can you please sign-in using your Altium account and try repeating the process again on installing the PCAD importer. It should work after that.
Please let me know how it goes.
