The ZIP is used to install Telerik RadEditor 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 Telerik RadEditor with IIS running

To install Telerik RadEditor 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 RadEditor.
4. Go to the Download tab to download the Manual installation (ZIP) file. What does the ZIP contain?

   The ZIP file contains the following folders:

   • DeploymentActions folder - contains the files required for the automatic deployment of Telerik RadEditor - this folder is not needed when installing the control from the ZIP
   • Help folder - contains all files and folders required for generating Help2
   • NET1 folder - contains the needed files and folders for deploying Telerik RadEditor under ASP.NET1.x
   • NET2 folder - contains the needed files and folders for deploying Telerik RadEditor under ASP.NET2.x
      

   The latest package available for download already has all updates/HOTFIXES applied. There is no need to update it further.

5. Once the download completes, create a RadEditor folder in your IIS's inetpub/wwwroot folder.
6. From the downloaded file, extract all files from the NET2 folder into inetpub/wwwroot/RadEditor folder. After the process ends, the inetpub/wwwroot/RadEditor/ folder should contain the following files and folders:
   • App_Themes folder - contains some .NET2.0 themes provided by Telerik
   • bin folder - contains the .dll file(s)
   • Common folder - contains JavaScripts, css files and/or ascx files
   • Img folder - contains system images
   • RadControls folder - 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.
     Exceptions: Because of the specific control features, you will always need to copy RadControls for RadChart, RadEditor, RadSpell, RadUpload and RadWindow products.
   • editor folder - contains the running examples from the Quick-Start framework 
   • other project files. 
7. Create a .NET2 virtual directory for the folder where you unzipped the files. How?

   This is accomplished through the Internet Information Services console on your machine:
   Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services:

8. Right-click the folder you have created (RadEditor).
9. Select Properties.
10. Click the Create button. The application name will become RadEditor.
11. Click Apply.
12. Click the ASP.NET tab.
13. From the drop-down list, select your ASP.NET 2.0 version:
     
    
     
14. Click OK.
     
15. 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 unzipped. See Setting ASNET (Network Service) Permissions for more information.

To run the examples, paste the following link in your browser: http://localhost/RadEditor

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 to download the Manual installation (ZIP) file. What does the ZIP contain?
