Hello Stuart Calder,

You should provide following Telerik assemblies with your executable file.

  1. TelerikCommon.dll - this assembly contains general routines required by all controls.
  2. Telerik.WinControls.dll - this assembly contains base the Telerik Presentation Framework (TPF) classes and routines.
  3. Telerik.WinControls.UI.dll - holds all Telerik UI controls.
  4. Telerik.Charting.dll – contains Telerik charting functionality.
  5. Telerik.WinControls.GridView.dll – holds only Telerik Grid View control.
  6. Telerik.WinControls.Docking.dll – provide docking functionality.

For deployment on another computer, Telerik assemblies should be either in the same folder, as the application executable file itself, or in the GAC.

We hope this information would help you with this issue.


Best wishes,
Peter

Hello Stuart,

You need to add these files to the Setup project:

  • TelerikCommon.dll,
  • Telerik.WinControls.dll
  • Telerik.WinControls.UI.dll
  • Telerik.Charting.dll
  • Telerik.WinControls.GridView.dll
  • Telerik.WinControls.Docking.dll
These files should be in the same directory where your executable file is.

If using Microsoft Visual Studio to create the Setup project, the studio will automatically detect all dependant assemblies in your project and will automatically add them to the setup.

In case that your install/setup tool has the option to put these files into GAC, please turn it on.

For more information on creating Setup project, please review MSDN. I think the first two links from this search page is what you are looking for.

 
All the best,
Peter
