Hi All,
I was able to resolve this issue (after re-creating the new win 2k8 r2 server and having the same error) by downloading a new installer. The "Kiwi_Syslog_Server_9.3.4.Freeware.setup.exe" I belive caused the problem as it froze on the initial installation and then experienced the problems above. After installing from the "Kiwi_Syslog_Server_9.3.4.Eval.setup.exe" everything has worked as expected.
Cheers
