I'm hoping for some troubleshooting guidance.  I just installed RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2011 SP1.  While there is a Telerik menu, the only menu item in it is "About".

Shouldn't there be something about Upgrade Project...?

Right now we have the Telerik.Web.UI.dll in our BIN directory. Should manually replace that  (just copy / paste over it), or is there a "better" way to make sure references and all that are all squared away?

Hi Margo,

It seems that the Telerik WebUI VSExtensions failed installing properly for some reason.

Can you try the steps below to fix these?

  1. Close all instances of Visual Studio 2010
  2. Start a Windows Explorer
  3. Navigate to the %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions folder
  4. Delete the Telerik WebUI VSExtensions and the Telerik UserSettings VSExtensions folders under the Telerik folder if these exist
  5. Navigate to the [VisualStudioInstallDir]\Common7\IDE\Extensions folder
  6. Wipe out the Telerik WebUI VSExtensions and the Telerik UserSettings VSExtensions folders under the Telerik folder if these exist
  7. Start a browser and download the Telerik WebUI VSExtensions from the Visual Studio Online Gallery (these are the latest versions of the VSExtensions and are always in sync; we have scheduled a newer version upload for mid-next week).
  8. After download, double-click the vsix package and install it to Visual Studio

As per your BIN files question, you should update your project's reference (through the Solution Explorer) instead of directly replacing the assembly in the BIN. A consequent rebuild of the project should copy the right assembly to the BIN.

Kind regards,
