I just wanted anyone that is looking for a windows 10 fix for ESI system programmer to know that this fix actually works. I used FlexHEX editor and adjusted the byte just as described. It took me a while to navigate the editor but once I identified what he was referring to and made the change, the system programmer loaded as it should.

*Be sure to allow editing of the ESI file at the root level of permissions before trying to open the ESIMain.exe file for editing with FlexHEX
*Be sure to replace the edited file after making the adjustments with FlexHEX.

You have to change 1 byte in the EsiMain.exe file.


The byte at position DF(Hex)/223(Decimal) in the original file is 85(Hex)/133(Decimal).
Change the byte at position DF(Hex)/223(Decimal) to 84(Hex)/132(Decimal).

And it will work.
You can use a hex editor to do this, or this powershell script:



Put the following in a text file called PatchESI.ps1, and place this file and EsiMain.exe in the same folder for patching.

Code
$infile = "EsiMain.exe"
$outfile = "Temp.exe"
$byte = [Byte[]] (0x84)
$f = Get-Item $infile
$file = (Get-Content $infile -encoding byte)[0..222] + $byte + (Get-Content $infile -encoding byte)[224..$f.Length] | Set-Content $outfile -encoding byte
Rename-Item $infile ("$infile" + ".old")
Rename-Item $outfile ("$infile")





This error occurs because the IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_NX_COMPAT Flag is set in the exe because of a compile error when they built it,
due to a change from Microsoft that broke some things.

Here is some background info:
