Lawrence.trevor - we just wanted to let you know that we are grateful for your post!
We were unable to successfully install Kiwi Syslog Server and Web Access for weeks. We've tried numerous "fixes" from Google searches and SolarWinds Support (mostly Group Policy and permissions related). Finally, while looking at the list of applications on the server, I took note of EMET, and searched the right string on Google that led me to your solution!
All I did was go to the EMET GUI, manually added syslogd_service.exe and syslogd_manager.exe, and disabled DEP.
Again, thank you very much!
