Download ArborShadow

 
A demonstration version of ArborShadow can be downloaded for free. It is fully functioning but will only allow you to process trees with pre-defined dimensions. However, you can still try out the programs features.

The program requires the installation of the Microsoft .NET framework on your PC. The .NET framework is a collection of resource files which programs can use to carry out certain functions. You can find out whether the system is already installed by attempting to run the downloaded setup program. It will inform you whether or not you need to install .NET.  Further information about the framework (including its system requirements) can be found on its download page.

.NET framework

Hint: try running ArborShadow first to see if this is already installed. Vista & W7 users should not need to install this.

• Download the .NET framework

ArborShadow

• Download ArborShadow   Release 3 - version 3.04

 

Notes:

Once ArborShadow is downloaded you need to open the Setup file so that the necessary folders are created and support files installed.

The ArborShadow download comprises of three files which are compressed as a Zip file. If you are using an older version of Windows then you may need to download the ZIP utility program to 'unzip' the file. Try opening the Zip File first to see if it unpacks. It may offer to run the Setup File automatically or you may need to select this yourself. The free Zip Utility program (if needed) can be downloaded here. I recommend that you first save the download file to disk first and then unpack as the file is large and you may need to run setup more than once if you are unsure whether .NET is installed on your PC.

If you already have ArborShadow installed on to your PC and are downloading a newer version, then you must first remove the current version from your PC by selecting the 'Add/Remove programs' from your Control Panel and selecting the ArborShadow entry. Your existing files should remain intact and not be over written.

 
Important: It is advisable that you DO NOT run the Setup file from within WinZip. Instead extract each of the files to a new folder on your hard drive, then close WinZip, and run Setup from the new folder. Once installed do not remove the folder with the original Setup and .MSI file as these may be needed for Repair purposes. If you choose run the Setup file directly from WinZip, ArborShadow will still install correctly but you may lose Shortcut connectivity.
