Importing Third Party Libraries

I seem to have a problem importing third party libraries, for instance check out this Kontakt library:
https://tolgainci.com.tr/2018/02/28/emu-emax-ii-library-for-kontakt-5/

I extract the files.
In Kontakt 8.8.0 (Windows) I hit the gear icon and add the library.

Then I get messages like the below.
Any ideas on how to get around this please, this is just one example.

Thanks.

@CakeAlexS There's also a disclaimer in the page you linked: "If you have any problems you can find the links to the original libraries below. You can convert them to SF2 format using the EMXP tool, and then use Kontak’s import function to convert them to .nki."

Hard to tell - except to say - there are no guarantees with this import. Especially a home brew type dating back to 2018 (and in Kontakt 5 format)

Some libraries work well for the import process (usually commercial ones in my experience) but others simply do not.

I have never tried something this old - but the fact that it does not load does not surprise me.

All you can do is load them via the Files menu and carry on.

The age of the library should not matter - I have imported libraries that go back to Kontakt 2 and 3 (eg some early Soniccouture ones like Scriptorium)

However I agree 'there are no guarantees' with this import tool - I also find the import process very hit and miss - it works most of the time until it doesn't and there isn't a clear reason why when it doesn't - except it isn't as simple as age - might be more to do with folder structure?
