Recommended Install / Upgrade Path

[David]

Today is the release of Visual Studio 2022.  While I realize your team is not responsible for that product, I do use your toolset daily.  

Do you have a recommended installation/upgrade path for your toolset given the new studio?  I did a side by side install of VS 2022 along side VS 2019.  Your product, prior to that install, was fully integrated into VS 2019.  I could create/maintain/upgrade projects with ease.  The "Telerik" menu existed in VS 2019.

Prior to installing VS 2022 my development box had never seen any version of 2022.  After I installed it, I was able to compile several existing projects which had Telerik controls.  That worked without issue.  When I looked around for Telerik menu, it was absent.

After removing all my Telerik Installed products, I then re-ran the install.  This time I noted the "VS 2022" checkboxes were checked. This makes sense as VS 2022 was now present on the system along with VS 2019.   Once I reinstalled all your products integration with VS 2022 appeared to be normal.    I regained my "Telerik" menu.

Did I miss a step?  Would following a different series of steps have been simpler? 

Thanks again for delivering an excellent toolset.

Hi David,

Thank you for contacting us.

Removing all Telerik products was not needed in this case. Instead, use the Progress Control Panel to add the new Visual Studio 2022 support, this could be done by:

1. Open Progress Control Panel
2. Select the Turn Features On/Off option for the products you need
3. Proceed to the next page
4. Select the Visual Studio 2022 Support checkbox for every product
5. Proceed and Finish the action

I hope this information helps.
