Hi @camirvdesign , welcome to our forums!

You have a very outdated Enscape version installed. Could you please uninstall Enscape, using the Windows Programs & Features function, and then reinstall using the latest installer, Enscape 2.6? Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this.

Afterwards the Enscape material editor should be available.
