I just downloaded the beta 2 and got an email. Under "Installation" it says
1. From the downloaded zip file extract the /examples folder.
2. Open it as a site using Visual Studio or other web development tool and browse the index.html file to see the local demos.
The above didn't work for me because opening just the examples folder as a site breaks the references to the js files in other folders. Heres what i did to make it work.
1. Extract the entire zip file (i extracted it to c:\telerik\KendoUIBeta2_2011_2_1007)
2. In VS2010, do a File, Open, Web site and in the "Open Web Site" window, hilite c:\telerik\KendoUIBeta2_2011_2_1007 and click [Open].
3. RightClick index.html and "View in Browser" or RightClick it and "Set as Start Page" then press Ctrl F5 to run the site.
I think it's important that novices get the beta to work right away as you lose a lot of people right away if something doesn't initially work. Or it could be that i'm not understanding the instructions properly.

Hello Mike,
Thank you for your feedback. We will update the instructions from the email accordingly. Actually it is even not mandatory to use Visual Studio to run the local version of the Kendo UI demos - you merely need to extract the zip package and double-click the index.html file to browse the examples.
Additional information about how to integrate our Kendo UI framework in your project can be found on this page.
