Try to run exe with /GENHEX argument.

According to the text inside the file it should create hex file

/GENHEX Creates an ASCII file of the code for use with prom programmers.

SCAMP: 286@20 /4M /CL-GD5422 /CMI8330
Aries: 486DX33 /16M /TGUI9440 /GUS+ALS100+MT32PI
Triton: K6-2@400 /64M /Rage Pro PCI /ES1370+YMF718
Seattle: P!!!750 /256M /MX440 /Vibra16s+SBLive!
