System Requirements for RILSIM

RILSIM has been designed to run on the majority of personal computers that are in common use around the world. Considerable effort has been taken to ensure that the software is compatible with the relatively modest computing hardware often available in developing countries.

Nevertheless, RILSIM won't run on every computer. Before installing the software, you should make sure that your computer meets the following minimum requirements:

  • The computer must run either a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. This means it must have Windows 95 or later. At present the operating systems that will support RILSIM include Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. Limited versions of Windows 95 may not be able to run RILSIM but it is unlikely that any such versions are still in use.
  • If the operating system is Windows NT, the version must be 4.0 or later. In addition, certain of RILSIM's optional capabilities require NT 4.0 to have been upgraded with Service Pack 4 or later. RILSIM's installation program checks this before allowing these options to be installed.
  • Your computer system should have at least 40 megabytes of disk space available during the installation process. The software and related files require a permanent allocation of about 25 megabytes of disk space.
  • Your computer should have at least 24 megabytes of random-access memory and a Pentium-class or later processor operating at 75 MHz or faster. Systems that exceed these requirements will of course operate faster and can run larger simulation models.

This website is provided by Blue Ox Forestry as a free service to RILSIM users worldwide.
