But I think there is a potential problem that is deeper than software choice. You do not mention the code you are using to generate your wfn file, so I will assume it is Gaussian, as it usually is when unstated. It probably makes a difference what the metal atom is in your molecule. The def2svp basis i think is all electron for first row transition metals, but uses an ECP for atoms beyond Kr. AIM analysis can fail when ECPs are used since the wavefunction and hence the density computed from it is likely to be discontinuous near the metal nucleus where the effective core potential is used. The Dgauss DGDZVP all electron basis set included in Gaussian might be a useful alternative for all of the atoms in your molecule....it cannot have discontinuity near nuclei and is pretty fast when used with density fitting.

I have optimized the structure of a metal complex. I have also done
wavefunction calculation. When I try to open the .wfn file I am getting the=
following message "error in CO-value". Also suggest a free and us= er-
friendly software that would be an alternative to AIM2000.
