pp2's should open just fine in P6. Perhaps you ended up with a corrupt file?
I'm not quiote familiar with the specific download, so I couldn't tell you if there's anything else odd going on.
However, in general terms, you shouldn't have to do anything special to PP2's, just place them in the props directory, and off you go.
