First, you'll need to uninstall any TreeWalk Plug-ins you may have installed and stop the "twdns" service to begin removing your old copy. You can stop the service with either of the following methods:
  · Start > (All) Programs > TreeWalk > service (select "Stop DNS Service")
  · from the TreeWalk Control Panel via Start > (All) Programs > TreeWalk, select "TreeWalk control panel" and press the "Stop" button
  · or start a run box and type "net stop twdns".

Next, go to Start > (All) Programs > TreeWalk and select "Uninstall TreeWalk DNS" or choose the uninstall option from the "Add/Remove Programs" applet in the (Windows) Control Panel.

You'll be asked to reboot your machine to return your computer to it's previous settings. You must do this! Now, assuming you've already downloaded and extracted the latest version of TreeWalk to a handy location on your machine and you have ensured that you have an active Internet connection, just double-click the executable (.exe) file to begin the setup routine. Follow all prompts and read the documentation supplied during the install.

Lastly, you'll be asked to reboot (restart) your computer, so select the "Yes" button when you're asked if you would like to restart now. After you've rebooted, find the "Check server" icon (Start > [All] Programs > TreeWalk > tools, select "Check server") and follow the prompt you'll see in the resulting window. That's it! If you're still unsure how to tell if TreeWalk installed properly, please review "How can I tell if TreeWalk is working?", also described on the FAQ page.
