Hello.
Glad to see that you have solved your problem. It is true that you need
the Vislt software for reading Tecplot files, but this software is
included in the last Paraview release 3.98.1. I am using the last
binaries found on the Paraview download pages, and I can read Tecplot
binary or ASCII files without adding software.
On older Paraview releases, the Vislt software was delivered as a plugin
that was not activated by default. In that case, you had to go through
the menu "Tools->Manage plugins", then select the "Vislt" plugin, click
the "Load selected" button, close Paraview, and finally reopen Paraview
to get the plugin activated. So, check your Paraview version, and you
may want to update it for the last 3.98.1 release.
But take care: there are two Tecplot readers. If you open a (.tp) ASCII
Tecplot file, you will have the choice between "Tecplot Files" or
"Tecplot Files (Vislt)". I don't know exactly what are the differences,
but if a reader fails, try the other.
But the Tecplot readers are not perfect, and that may explain your ERROR
message. Sometimes, with Tecplot ASCII files, I have to remove from the
header some options that the readers do not recognize. Try to have the
simplest headers without "exotic" options when using ASCII files, and
the readers will be OK.
If you have again problems with (.plt) files, feel free to provide a
(short) sample file.

Hello.
Paraview 3.98.1 is able to read Tecplot ASCII or Binary files.
For Tecplot (.plt) files, menu "File->Open" and choose "Tecplot Binary
Files (Vislt) (*.plt)" in the "Files of type" list before selecting your
(.plt) file.
Richard.
