+You can download it separately from here:  https://tad.in.net/dxftotadshapes.zip  The README.txt file in that zip file explains
+the situation we faced; and if you feel that you can try it out then do so as per your own discretion. //(Note that we are quite sure that it has no virus or other problems) //
