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 EXE files are intended for easy and automatic installation of a product. The EXE installs the suite on your computer to a folder named Telerik in your Program Files, automatically creating the necessary virtual folders and projects. Additionally, it installs the help file(s) in the VS.NET IDE and in your local copy of MSDN, if you have one installed.

The latest package available for download already has all updates/HOTFIXES applied. There is no need to update it further.
The EXE installation will not overwrite previous Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX installations, unless it is of the same version.

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

  1. Log into 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 and download the Automatic installation (EXE) file.
  5. Once the download completes, run the EXE file and follow the instructions.

    The wizard will install the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX component in the following folder unless you specify otherwise:
    C:\Program Files\Telerik\.

The wizard will create the necessary virtual folders.
