One of my programmers here did not have Q1 on his computer so I told him to install and when he tries he receives a message saying he has a more recent version installed and the install stops.
Is there a way to install a previous version of the controls?
I know different version can live on the same machine, my currently computer has the last 4 versions (plus a few versions of Radcontrols for ASP.Net). But I've upgraded all versions in the right order, not installed a previous version in the middle.
Thanks

Thanks for writing.
It is possible to install previous version of a product, if you don't have a newer minor update already installed on the machine (you can read more about minor and major updates here). In other words, if your programmer have the Q1 2011 SP1 release, he/she won't be able to install the Q1 2011 release.
If you have clean machine, it's not problem to install Q1 2012, Q3 2011 and then Q2 2011 (in this order), because these are all major releases and they could be installed in parallel.
I hope this information is helpful. Let me know if the problem persists.
Kind regards,

Could you be more specific about the version of controls and Visual Studio you want to integrate? Thanks.

The easiest way to manage the installed versions of our products and install old versions is through the Telerik Control Panel. You can take a look at the following blog post which describes how to manage the different installed versions of a product through the Telerik Control Panel - http://www.telerik.com/blogs/by-popular-demand-control-panel-introduces-installing-other-versions-of-products.
I hope this helps.

This seems to no longer be an option in Control Panel.
What other way can I install a specific version ?
Hi Stephen,
The View Old Versions option is still available in the Progress Control Panel. For your convenience, I recorded a short video demonstrating how to access this feature inside the Control Panel as well as in the downloads section under your Telerik.com account.

Thanks for that but it's showing when you have already installed a product how to select a different version.
I want ONLY the product version I need.
So you want me to install the current release AND the version I want later ?
That's not cool .. I only want the specific versions so nothing get upgraded automatically and such
I am here ...
I agree with you that the View All Versions option of the Control panel duplicates the functionality of the Downloads section of the Telerik account and lists the already downloaded/installed versions of the selected product:
Your question is valid and I referred the question to the relevant product team supporting the Control Panel.
I also noticed your other tickets on the matter and we will try to answer them as soon as possible.

Tell me how to use the NuGet server to get the specific versions I want.
When I use Visual Studio to browse the NuGet server no search results are shown from the Telerik server.
Please follow the steps tutorial I recorded for your convenience.
The search string is "telerik.ui.for.aspnet.ajax".

Again .. thanks for the recording but ...
In the project it references these things that do not come up in the NuGet search
Telerik.Web.Design, Version=2020.2.617.45
Telerik.Web.Spreadsheet, Version=2020.2.616.40
Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2020.2.617.45
Telerik.Web.UI.Skins, Version=2020.2.617.45
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Core, Version=2020.2.615.40
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow, Version=2020.2.615.40
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet, Version=2020.2.615.40
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.OpenXml, Version=2020.2.615.40
Telerik.Windows.Zip, Version=2020.2.615.40
Telerik.Reporting, Version=14.1.20.618
Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=14.1.20.618

When I search for the first reference Telerik.Web.Design ...
Could it be that you are searching only in the public nuget.org server?
The Telerik nuget files are hosted on the Telerik private server - https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json as explained in the documentation - Add the Telerik NuGet Feed to Visual Studio.

Just did all that ... still not luck finding the first assembly .. Telerik.Web.Design ... same results as previously
Telerik.Web.Design is part of the Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX assemblies. It is not available standalone but as part of the Telerik.UI.for.AspNet.Ajax.Net40 installation. If you install it you'll get all of the main ajax assemblies like Telerik.Web.UI.dll, Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll, Telerik.Web.Design.dll and Telerik.Web.Device.Detection.dll. The Telerik.Web.Design.dll and Telerik.Web.Device.Detection.dll are optional and the app can function without them. If the Default skin is used you also do not need the Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll assembly but only the Telerik.Web.UI.dll one.
The following article provides detailed info for the different assemblies in the Telerik AJAX suite: Included Assemblies.
On a side note something related to your tickets: The installation of Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX consists of the following main assemblies Telerik.Web.UI.dll, Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll, Telerik.Web.Design.dll and Telerik.Web.Device.Detection.dll). All of them are built on the same date and have identical versions in the release. In your case, the release is R2 2020 SP1 and their version is 2020.2.617.45. We do not distribute Telerik.Web.UI.dll, Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll, Telerik.Web.Design.dll and Telerik.Web.Device.Detection.dll assemblies with a different version as 2020.2.615 for R2 2020 SP1. Their official version for R3 2020 SP1 is 2020.2.617.
The assemblies of the Document Processing Library for R2 2020 SP1 are built earlier than the Telerik.Web.UI.dll, Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll, Telerik.Web.Design.dll, and Telerik.Web.Device.Detection.dll ones and have a different version 2020.2.615.40, but this is fine, expected, and by design.

So I ask again .. how do I get the versions I need to maintain the code, compile and deploy without changing the server runtimes?
I'm not going to deploy new runtimes ...
Please allow me to take over for my colleague Rumen as his working hours have ended.
I noticed in the screenshots that the NuGet Package search value is telerik.web. This does produce the same results as noted in the following images.
However, if the search input is changed to ui.for.aspnet the desired package results will be presented as shown in the following screenshot.
Please give this a try and let me know the results. Thank you!

This is all I get
I installed the correct reporting version Telerik_Reporting_R2_2020_SP1_14_1_20_618_DEV
I installed the closest AJAX version Telerik_UI_for_ASP.NET_AJAX_2020_2_617_Dev
In my app it seems to still not have access to Telerik.Web.Design so I rebooted and it's not an available reference
Thank you for the screenshots. I can see that the correct NuGet Package Manager search results are now present in the provided screenshot. Note that the version can be changed using the version drop-down on right-hand side of the NuGet Package Manager dialog.
To add the additional Document Processing and Reporting assemblies through NuGet, these can be searched for by using the assembly's name like the following list. Note the version from the version selector.
- Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow
- Telerik.Windows.Documents.Core
- Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.OpenXml
- Telerik.Windows.Zip
- Telerik.Reporting
- Telerik.ReportViewer.WebForms
Additionally, if you have installed the AJAX and Reporting products and would like to add the reference from the installation, the assemblies will be located in the following folders. Note that this approach may require using the Browse function of the Add Reference Dialog.
- Reporting Assemblies: C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik Reporting R2 2020 SP1\Bin
- AJAX Assemblies: C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX R2 2020 SP1\Bin45
- AJAX Additional Assemblies: C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX R2 2020 SP1\AdditionalLibraries\Bin45
Ultimately, the above details two different approaches to achieve the same result. The assemblies can be added through NuGet or as a local reference to the installation folder. I recommend using NuGet as it will manage the additional dependencies. Note that it is best to choose one approach and use it consistently as this can lead to undesired results.
For the missing Telerik.Web.Design, this is located in the AJAX installation bin folder and can be remapped to this location. However, it is not required to run the program. This assembly is for design-time features.
Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you.

I've installed the libraries ....
Added the references ...
Now I get errors for using statements in the aspx.cs files and missing references in the web.config file that are already referenced in the project ....
This is just ludacris ....
Thank you for providing the screenshot and I understand your frustration. Unfortunately, this is the undesirable results I was referring to when combining the two assembly reference approaches.
From the provided web.config screenshot, I can see the Target Framework of the application is .NET 4.0 and from the previously provided screenshots the referenced assemblies are .NET 4.5. This will cause many errors to appear in the console until the file is opened and then they will disappear.
To resolve this, change the UI for ASP.NET AJAX assemblies to the .NET 4.0 version which can be found in the following folder locations:
- AJAX Assemblies: C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX R2 2020 SP1\Bin40
- AJAX Additional Assemblies: C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX R2 2020 SP1\AdditionalLibraries\Bin40
Lastly, I see that you have existing ticket 1556816 open, and it is awaiting a reply. Please reply in ticket 1556816 with the results of changing the runtime version of the UI for ASP.NET AJAX assemblies. Thank you.
