One way to get Deadwood to work in Windows 10 is to use a cmd prompt with administrator privileges. ==Getting an admin cmd prompt== To open up an admin cmd prompt: * Go to the start menu and search for "cmd" * When found, right click on it and run "cmd" as an administrator ==Installing Deadwood as an administrator== Once this administrative "cmd" prompt is opened, it is necessary to install Deadwood: * At the cmd prompt, use the "cd" command to find and enter the directory where Deadwood is unpacked (where this file is located) * Invoke the "install.bat" script from this directory (by simply typing in "install.bat" without the quotes) * Once Deadwood is installed, it is important not to change the directory where Deadwood is locted; otherwise the service manager may have problems finding the Deadwood service. ==Troubleshooting Deadwood== Note that, should there be an issue which causes Deadwood to not start, no error messages will be visible in Windows 10. To view any errors when starting up Deadwood, it may be necessary to invoke Deadwood as the non-Administrator as follows from this directory: Deadwood.exe --nodaemon dwood3rc.txt If there are no issues starting up Deadwood, the process will hang and need to be terminated with the task manager. If there are issues starting up Deadwood, the process will quickly terminate and a logfile with the relevant information will be in this file: dwlog.txt
