Import footprint PCB

How can I import a footprint into OrCAD PCB Designer Professional?. 
I download the file from any provider and run the .bat file with the following problem appearing: Cannot open script file; No match found for 'footprint.scr' in the search path.

All you need is a 'footprint'.psm file and the padstacks that as associated with it. Place that in your footprint library location and import it.

Your .bat file is calling for a .scr (script) file. You need to have the script file also.

I download the footprints from https://componentsearchengine.com/. Once downloaded I go to the Orcad_Allegro16 folder, where I have a .bat file, an edf file for the schematic and three .scr files. I open the .bat file and I get an error. Try downloading a component from that page and see if you can enter the footprint. I am using version 17.4

Did you think to read the instructions? You need to download their Loader 1st.

I already have that program installed, but it does not automatically add the symbol and footprint of your component, or perhaps it is not doing something right.
Could you try adding a component from the page that I told you with that program? It would be a great help if I could add the components of that page.
