This worked for me:

Re-register the SWAlertActions8.dll dll file?

Open the \Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\ folder.

Right-Click on SWAlertActions8.dll file and select open with C:\WINDOWS\system32\regsrv32.exe

Restart System Manager and try to edit the advanced alerts.

I found this Knowledge Base article, last updated on 7/24/09, that provides the same info for resolving this issue:

How do I resolve a "Cannot create SysLog Action (NPMEventLog) Path not Found" error occurring when I try to create new alerts or actions?

Don't forget to search SolarWinds Support for answers...chances are, someone has had the same problem!
