Incompatible IES light types?

Hi everyone. I’m still using Vray 1.49 (for SkethcUp), and recently I’ve been playing more and more with IES lights, but I’ve come across a problem. Instead of using a generic IES light I tried to use the IES light of a specific lamp, available at the manufacturer’s website (it's under ''Documentation''), but it doesn’t seem to work.

When alerted to this, their reply was:

''You will need lighting software to view the information. I use Photometric Toolbox and/ or AGI32.''

 

Maybe VRAY isn't compatible with all IES files?

 

As example, this is the type of IES file that works perfectly on my setup:
