I'm trying to install Telerik ASP.NET 2011 Q1 and it's failing.
First download installation log: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1929707/Telerik.Web.UI_2011_1_315_Dev.msi.log
Second download installation log: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1929707/Telerik.Web.UI_2011_1_315_Dev%20%281%29.msi.log
Thanks,
Daryl

Hi Daryl,
For some reason the documentation setup failed on your side. The workaround is to run the setup in custom mode and deselect the local documentation from installation.
As we didn't have the error locally, I would love to understand more about the problem and hopefully fix it as early as possible. Do you have Visual Studio 2010? Do you have SP1 applied?
Kind regards,

Hi Daryl,
We're investigating the error now.
Can you help me some more? Did you have the help content library initialized?

Hi Erjan,
No, it wasn't open, however it's the only help library(RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2010 SP2 Documentation) I have pinned in my start menu (I doubt it could affect the installation though).
Edit: removed pinned shortcut and it (as expected) didn't work.

Daryl

Hi Daryl,
No, this should not be the problem. The Q3 2010 documentation was targeting MSHelp2, while the new one targets MSHelp3.
Can you check the Application Logs in the system Event Viewer for a recent error (during the RadControls installation)? Can you send me the errors?

Hi Daryl,
Indeed, that was very useful! It seems that for some reason the User Account Control has prevented the documentation setup, though we've tried preventing that. We're working on reproducing the problem now and we will do our best to have a fix or a workaround posted here asap.
P.S. Please, find your Telerik account updated for the help!

Hi Daryl,
It occurs that the implementation of a fix might need some more time. In the meantime, here are the two workarounds:
Workaround1:
Workaround2:
Update:
Another reason for the documentation deployment to fail was discovered. It is the lack of the Root Certificates (shipped with (KB931125)). Having that, please, check if you have the latest Windows Updates installed (as explained in the MS Help 3 documentation deployment issues blog post.

Workaround1:
- Ensure you have the documentation library store set up
(Visual Studio 2010 -> Help -> Manage Help Settings) - Run the RadControls installer
Workaround2:
- Start a Command Prompt as administrator
- Navigate to the folder where the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX installer was downloaded
- Run the following command:
msiexec /i [RadControlsInstallationMSIFileName].msi /limev InstallLog.txt

in my case none of the 2 workarounds do work. Is there a way to install the documentation itself and what is the install location?

Hi Joerg,
Can you open a separate support ticket, run the installer with logging enabled and send us the log? It could be a different error happening on your side.
Please, use the steps in Workaround 2 to run the installer with logging enabled:

I had this issue pop up on a couple of machines and tracked the problem down to the logged on user not having permissions to the "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\HelpLibrary" directory. Once the user was added, setup was successful.

Hi zAxis,
Thanks indeed for the tip! This is a valid approach too.
By the way, I'm glad to say we already fixed the problem and the next releases won't have it. We'll upload an internal build with an MSI as well.

I am having the same problem on ASP.NET Ajax Q2 2011 SP1. I have found that the problem centers on the documentation / help library merge. My help files are not located on C:\ProgramData\ but are located on D:\ProgramData\. When the installation attempts to run the publish / help merge, it fails and rolls back.
Is there any way to specify where the help library is actually located at?

Hi,
Our installation package does not rely on knowing where the help library is located as it uses a the HelpLibManager.exe command-line tool for deployment.
Although I have no idea what the cause for the failure is on your system, we have identified a corrupt help library as a common cause for failure on a number of customers' systems. The issue was resolved by performing the following steps:
Let me know if that helps.
