Quality_control_snpchip_analysis_50K_96K

Hi there, I am trying to perform quality control of our SNPchip data (.CEL files) but my DQC script is unable to read .cdf file what i understood so far and throws the error as below- *

Loading options from file: my_pwd/Analysis/Axiom_NAAS_50K.r1.apt-geno-qc.AxiomQC1.xml
 cdf-file = Axiom_NAAS_50K.r1.cdf
 target-sketch = Axiom_NAAS_50K.r1.AxiomGT1.sketch
 qcc-file = Axiom_NAAS_50K.r1.qcc
 qca-file = Axiom_NAAS_50K.r1.qca
 female-thresh = 0.54
 male-thresh = 1.0
*
Read 5624 cel files from: cel_list1.txt
Checking chip type on all cel files.

**FATAL ERROR:EngineUtil::getCdfChipType(**) - Can't read header for '**Axiom_NAAS_50K.r1.cdf'**. Description: Unable to open the file.

I don't see any .cdf file in my Analysis folder.

Should i re-download the Analysis folder? If yes, from where i should get the direct download link of Axiom analysis software? I am trying to get it (found the thermofisher/Affymetrix_Software/ page and manual as well) but unsuccessful so far for direct download link. Thanks in advance.
