Prerequisite

In order to have RadControls running, you will need to have ASP.NET AJAX installed on your development/production machine.
See also General ASP.NET AJAX Information.

The ZIP is used to install Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET manually for upgrading or updating purposes.  The folder structure is different from the EXE installation. You need to be familiar with with ASP.NET, IIS, setting permissions and creating virtual folders. Commonly, the ZIP is installed directly in inetpub/wwwroot.

Install without IIS Running (VS 2005 only)

To install the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET suite on your machine from the ZIP file, follow the instructions below:

  1. Log in your Client.NET account.
  2. Go to My licenses and click My Purchases (or My Free Trials if you are a trial user).
  3. Click Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX.
  4. Go to the Download tab to download the Manual installation (ZIP) file. 
    The ZIP file contains the following folders:
    • bin  - contains the product assembly and the XML file necessary for the IntelliSense support.
    • Documentation - contains all files and folders required for registering the product documentation.
    • Live Demos - contains the product Quick-Start Framework and examples and  the VisualStudio solution file opening them. You can start the samples directly from this folder, using the StartExamples.exe file.
    • Skins - all controls part of the suite have their skins embedded as WebResources. However if you need to modify a skin, you can find it in this folder. 

      Important !!!

      If you are using a custom or a modified skin you need to set the EnableEmbeddedSkins property to false. If you don't do that the control will fail to find your custom skin with an exception. If you wish to use a custom skin - it will override your CSS file. For more information you can check the How skins work and Skin registration topics.
    The latest package available for download has all latest updates/HOTFIXES applied. There is no need to update it further.
  5. Give full permissions to the ASPNET user (if you are using IIS5) or to the Network Service account (under IIS6, Windows Server 2003) on the folder where the files were extracted. See Setting ASPNET (Network Service) Permissions for more information.

To run the examples run StartExamples.exe file from /Live Demos folder.
