I have installed ".NET 3.5" and "RadControls_for_ASP.NET_AJAX_2008_3_1314_dev.exe", but the link "RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q3 2008 Live Examples" does not lauch. Do I need to configure anything differently after the installation? What information do you need in order to diagnose this?

Hi Steve,

In order to start the local examples using the shortcut from the Programs Menu you need to have VisualStudio installed on your machine as the examples use ASP.NET Development Server. If ASP.NET Development Server is not available (no VS installed) you will have to make a new virtual directory in IIS for the examples (should point to C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q3 2008\Live Demos). See attached screenshots for details.

I wanted to use the Slider.

I have installed "Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extentions 1.0".

I have installed "RadControls_for_ASP.NET_AJAX_2008_3_1314_dev.exe".

.NET Framework 2.0 is installed.

Server Software is IIS version 6.0 on a Windows 2003 SP2 Server. I do not have VS 2008 installed.

I have installed "RadControls_for_ASP.NET_AJAX_2008_3_1314_dev.exe". When I clicked "Start the live demos" after installation or click "start > telerik > RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q3 2008" or the shortcut on the desktop "RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q3 2008 Live Examples", nothing happens. 

Do I need the "071955_Telerik.Web.UI_2007_3_1218_trial_hotfix.zip"? Do I need additional configuration?

Hello Steve,

In general, when you click on "Start the live demos" after installation or click "start > telerik > RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q3 2008" or the shortcut on the desktop "RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q3 2008 Live Examples", a StartExamples.exe is run (located under C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q3 2008\Live Demos). This is executable file is trying to start your local ASP.NET Development Server (a.k.a. Cassini).

The executable file is trying to find if you have VS2008 first and if do have it, it runs the ASP.NET Development Server of VS2008:

//try VS 2008 location for webserver 
string cassiniPath = string.Format(@"{0}\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\9.0\WebDev.WebServer.exe", Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("CommonProgramFiles")); 
if (File.Exists(cassiniPath)) 
    tryNet35 = true

If there's no VS2008 installed, then the executable file is trying to find if you have .NET Framework 2.0 properly installed (checkes HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Policy\v2.0 for 50727 key) and then run its ASP.NET Development Server:

//try to get the current framework version from the registry and use it for the location of the webserver 
string frameworkVer = "50727"
RegistryKey net2Key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v2.0"); 
if (net2Key != null && net2Key.ValueCount > 0) 
    frameworkVer = net2Key.GetValueNames()[0]; 
else 
    MessageBox.Show("Error while reading .NET Framework 2.0 configuration! Assuming default values."); 
cassiniPath = String.Format(@"{0}\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.{1}\WebDev.WebServer.exe", Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("WINDIR"), frameworkVer); 

So, if nothing happens when you try to start the local examples this mean that you either don't have VS2008 installed or .NET Framework 2.0 is older version (or wrongly configured).

Still, I suggest you make a new virtual directory in your IIS that will point to the examples' folder (i.e. C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q3 2008\Live Demos) and start the examples directly in your browser (i.e. by typing http://localhost/RadControls_Q3_2008).
