does the customer need install "telerik-winforms“ or we can just copy the "telerik-winforms *.dll" files?

Hi Zhang,

Thank you for writing.

Basically, only a developer needs the RadControls for WinForms suite installed on their machines. Then, when deploying the product to the end users, the Telerik should not be provided as they are, but you can create an executable which contains all needed assemblies merged with IL merge. 

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Greetings,
Stefan
the Telerik team
