Sandeep,
   My apologies for the delay in responding. Some users have experienced 
problems using the plugin on certain operating systems and while I have 
not seen the error that you mention it could be the same problem. I will 
send you a link to an alternative tool for generating the Type194 
parameters. You will need to run the tool seperately and then manually 
enter the values that it generates but I have found it to be much more 
reliable than the plugin.
kind regards,
  David
