Aspose Cells - Converting an xls file to xlsx - java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi, I am using Aspose Cells to convert an XLS to XLSX.
I am unable to upload the xls file.

I got this error stack:

java -jar C:\temp\ExcelProject\ASPOSEConverter.jar “C:\temp\ExcelProject\19INR0073_RENEWABLE_FORM.xls” “C:\temp\ExcelProject\19INR0073_RENEWABLE_FORM.xlsx”
converting : C:\temp\ExcelProject\19INR0073_RENEWABLE_FORM.xls --> C:\temp\ExcelProject\19INR0073_RENEWABLE_FORM.xlsx
java.lang.NullPointerException

Could you please help me troubleshoot it…

Thank You,
