- I renamed Deadwood.exe with the name install.exe
- I installed Deadwood as a serivce by typing in install.exe --install
- Vista's UAC thingy asked if it was OK for install.exe to run; I let it continue
- I edited the dwood2rc.txt file as per an XP install of Deadwood
- net start Deadwood doesn't work, so I had to start the service by going to the service control panel (another confirmation needed by UAC to open up this control panel) and starting the service there
Another possible workaround for Vista's UAC is to use an Admin command prompt, as described on this page
