Deployment problems when using a custom theme

[Dietrich]

I recently started using visual style builder and I must say I love it.  Definitely a little learning curve but very reasonable given its impressive capabilities.  I was able to get my custom theme working in my application with little trouble.  However, I can't get it working on a non-dev computer at all.  I have deployed multiple applications using your awesome suite, both web and windows, never having any difficulty.  I set all telerik dependencies to copy local and copy the full release folder to the target computer.  When I run the .exe, I get either nothing at all or maybe eventually the error saying "this application has stopped working".  I even tried copying the theme .xml files to the target machine but still no joy.  I have searched and come up empty so here I am.  Please let me know if I can provide any screenshots, assemblies, etc to make my issue clearer.

Hello Dietrich,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

The provided explanation is clear enough. Please refer to our Redistributing Telerik UI for WinForms help article, demonstrating how to freely use and redistribute all of the products in the suite to build your own solutions, and your end users are not required to purchase their own licenses for the controls. In addition, you can find useful information in our online documentation: Themes section >> Advanced topics >> Adding custom redistributable themes to your application:

• Creating a theme component
• Adding a custom theme as a resource
• Adding a custom theme as a file

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

Regards,
