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.
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 RadControls for ASP.NET - this folder is not needed when installing the control from the ZIP
   • Help folder - contains all files and folders required for generating Help1
   • HelpNET20 folder - contains all files and folders required for generating Help2
   • NET1 folder - contains the needed files and folders for deploying Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET under ASP.NET1.x
   • NET2 folder - contains the needed files and folders for deploying Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET under ASP.NET2.x
   • other files and folders.
      

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

6. Once the download completes, create a Telerik_RadControls folder in your IIS's inetpub/wwwroot folder.
7. From the downloaded file, extract the files from the NET2 folder into inetpub/wwwroot/Telerik_RadControls folder. After the process ends, the inetpub/wwwroot/Telerik_RadControls folder should contain the following files and folders:

   • app_themes folder - contains the themes and skins used by Telerik's navigational controls
   • bin folder - contains the controls' .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, needed by Telerik's controls. 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 Telerik RadChart, Telerik RadEditor, Telerik RadSpell, Telerik RadUpload and Telerik RadWindow products.
   • folders, named after Telerik's controls (i.e. Calendar, Chart, Combobox, etc.) - these contain the running examples for each control from the Quick-Start framework 
   • other project files and folders.

8. Create a .NET2 virtual directory for the folder where you extracted the files. How?

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

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

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

To register the MS Help 2 files to VisualStudio and MSDN, please review the following link:
http://www.telerik.com/Default.aspx?PageId=2657

To add any control to the VS.NET toolbox, review Adding Telerik RadToolBar to the Visual Studio 2005 Toolbox
To use any Telerik ASP.NET control in your project, review Adding Telerik RadToolBar to an ASP.NET WebForm

DO NOT include/add the examples in your VS.NET project as this will break the Telerik control(s).
