I am designing a N-tier application. I want to have the data layer and
rules engine in a single location on our network; the client would
interface with the RE through a WCF application running as a Windows
Service. The application would sit behind our firewall and have no ASP
component.

My problem is that all of the WCF code examples I have been able to find
involve web services running in conjunction with IIS. My efforts to use
this code as a starting point have not been successful (in particular,
the machines all run Vista and so are subject to seemingly pointless
security restrictions.)

If anyone could point me to code that does NOT mention ASP, web services
or HTTP which might suit my needs, I would be very grateful.

Sure, you can self host your own WCF service in your own custom rolled
ServiceHost.
