In addition, I find one needs to run the shortcut for Death Wish as administrator for it to work, the same goes for Cryptic Passage (right click and go into properties and tick the box in compatability to save time in future). The colour problem seems to have fixed itself after I changed the default resolution, ran DW then changed it back and ran DW again!

I had the same problem running the Blood gog version on windows 7 64bit
The Solution is as follows:
After pasting the Deathwish files to your Blood directory open dosboxBloodDW.conf with notepad (run as administrator if you cant edit it!)
At the bottom delete:
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.

@ECHO OFF
mount C "."
imgmount D game.inst -t iso
c:
cls
BMOUSE.EXE LAUNCH BLOOD.EXE -ini dw.ini
#dw
exit

And replace it with:
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.

@ECHO OFF
mount C "."
imgmount D game.inst -t iso
c:
cls

Blood.EXE -ini dw.ini
exit

Now the DW GOG Shortcut will work!
I find the colour is completely off when it loads but but that is quickly fixed by simply going into video settings and changing resolution (to any value including the one it's already set to)
