The EXE files are intended for easy and automatic installation of a product. The EXE installs the control 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 such installed.

The EXE files are best for first-time Telerik users and ASP.NET novices.

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 RadEditor installations, unless it is of the same version.

Install with Internet Information Services (IIS) Running

To install Telerik RadEditor on your machine from the EXE 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 RadEditor.
  4. Go to the Download tab and download the Automatic installation (EXE) file.
  5. Once the download completes, run the RadEditor_7_0.exe and follow the instructions.

The wizard will create a virtual folder "Telerik RadEditor7.0NET2" (accessible at http://localhost/Telerik/telerikradeditor7.0_NET2).

To view live examples of the Telerik RadEditor functionality, you can launch the Quick Start Framework in either of the following ways:

  • Open Start Menu -> Programs -> Telerik -> Telerik RadEditor v7.0 -> ASP.NET 2.X -> Telerik RadEditor v7.0 C#/VB Live Examples,
  • Double-click the LiveExamplesCS or LiveExamplesVB file located in C:\Program Files\Telerik\Telerik RadEditor v7.0\NET2,
  • or drag the LiveExamplesCS or LiveExamplesVB file located in C:\Program Files\Telerik\Telerik RadEditor v7.0\NET2 to start the examples in your browser.

Install without Internet Information Services (VS 2005 only)

To install Telerik RadEditor on your machine from the EXE 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. Locate Telerik RadEditor, and click on it.
  4. Go to the Download tab to download the Automatic installation (EXE) file.
  5. Once the download completes, run the RadEditor_7_0.exe and follow the instructions.

When Internet information Services is not running, the product installation will NOT create virtual directories for the QSF, nor will it create any shortcuts for launching the QSF on localhost. To launch the Quick-Start framework, open and Run (Ctrl+F5) its VisualStudio Web Site using the provided shortcut in the Start Menu:
Start Menu -> Telerik -> Telerik RadEditor v7.0 -> ASP.NET 2.X -> Open Sample Web Site in Visual Studio
VisualStudio 2005 will start the QSF locally using the integrated ASP.NET Development Server.

Telerik RadEditor will be added automatically to VS.NET 2005's toolbox. Review the following instructions to add it manually: Adding Telerik RadEditor to the Visual Studio 2005 Toolbox

 

The wizard will install the Telerik RadEditor component in the following folder unless you specify otherwise:
\Program Files\Telerik\Telerik RadEditor7.0\NET2.

 

The installation folder contains the following subfolders and files:

  • "bin" - contains the .dll files

  • "Common" - contains JavaScripts and css files

  • "RadControls" - contains the clients-side JavaScript and resource files
    You will need to copy this folder in your web application only if you intend to use skins different from the default or if you plan to modify the JavaScript files.

  • "editor" - contains the running examples from the Quick-Start framework 

  • LiveExamplesCS - a browser link to run the C# version of the examples locally
  • LiveExamplesVB - a browser link to run the VB.NET version of the examples locally

 

The information below is generic for all Telerik controls. The particular details vary for individual control installations.

The installation folders of some Telerik controls may also contain the following subfolders:

  • "DeploymentActions" - contains the files required for proper deployment of the control
  • "Help" - contains all the files required for generating Help2
  • "Img" - contains system images
  • "InstalledRelated" - contains the files required for proper installation of the control
