You're not specifying the following things:
* Syslinux version (4.06 ? 5.01?)
* if you're running the console window as administrator or not
* if the filesystem on the USB stick is FAT/FAT32
* if directory '\SYSLINUX' already exists or not (it should)

I'd recommend trying to get syslinux on the device using programs such 
as RUFUS (rufus dos usb) or RMprepUSB (or Unetbootin, YUMI, or whatever) 
and verify that that works.
Afterwards you could still try to run a syslinux.exe installation command.
