How can I use WinForms Trial on my non administrator VS account?

[Malcolm]

When I installed the trial "Progress" control panel along with WinForms UI trial, it forces me to enter my elevated credentials and it only appears in the toolbox while I am using the same elevated user's install of Visual Studio.

As I do not have a visual studio license on that account, this is problematic for attempting to use the trial. Nonetheless, the installation of Progress forces me to use an elevated account. 

Is it possible to utilize the trial without using an admin account to install? It immediately prompts for these credentials when running: TelerikUIForWinFormsSetup.exe

Hi Malcolm,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Telerik Visual Studio extensions are installed per user and when installing the Telerik UI for WinForms with our web installer, the extensions are installed only for the authenticated admin user. 

The easiest way to get the extensions installed in your Visual Studio is the following:

1. Launch Visual Studio 
2. Select Extensions menu and open Manage Extensions dialog
3. Expand Online tab and choose Visual Studio Marketplace
4. Type "Telerik UI for WinForms" into the search box
5. Press the Download button and restart your Visual Studio when it is ready

If the Telerik UI for WinForms toolbox items are still not set in the Visual Studio Toolbox after the installation, I would recommend you use the Toolbox Configurator: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/visual-studio-integration/visual-studio-extensions/toolbox-configurator

Its purpose is to choose which version of Telerik UI for WinForms to be populated in the Visual Studio’s Toolbox. The user can select among all versions of the suite that are currently on the machine and have been either installed or downloaded using the VS Extensions. Please bear in mind that the Toolbox Configurator is available only for .NET Framework projects. 

Could you please try the provided suggestions and let us know in case any further assistance is needed?

I am looking forward to your feedback.

Regards,
Yana
