Have you tried not running syslinux.exe from the same volume?
Also, try:
syslinux.exe --mbr --active --directory syslinux --install e:
Note: sort order of the options; only one space character between
arguments; the "e:\syslinux\" directory should already exist; the
"--install e:" argument is last; volume "e:" is the only partition in
the USB drive; "e:" is FAT32; is "e:" smaller than 4GB?
If that doesn't work, I would suggest using RUFUS at least for a
test. Once your USB drive is at least bootable (after using RUFUS),
you could try again with Syslinux 5.xx.
