Hello, Vern,

I would recommend you to have a look at the following knowledge base article demonstrating how to embed the Chrome browser in a WinForms application: https://www.telerik.com/support/kb/winforms/details/how-to-embed-chrome-browser-in-a-winforms-application 

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello, Vern,

Since the Knowledge Base portal is public, we don't redistribute the Telerik assemblies with the sample projects. In order to run the project, it would be necessary to update the Telerik references with the installation that you have on your computer: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/installation-and-upgrades/updating-assemblies-in-a-project 

Should you have further questions please let me know.
