Hello telerik,

Some issues i'm experiencing with the Q3 version of prometheus and VS2008 on windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit:

- toolbox installer: does not add the telerik controls automatically. Adding the telerik UI binary manually does work though.
- Desktop shortcut to 'StartExamples.exe' does nothing. also executing this exe does not work. Full path on my install: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls 'Prometheus' for ASPNET Q3 2007\Live Demos\StartExamples.exe"

Removed the telerik Q3 product and reinstalled it dit not help with both issues. Maybe it has something to do with my 64-bit vista OS?

Regards,

Frans

Hi Frans,

Which assembly did you add to the toolbox? The Prometheus installation contains two assembly folders - bin and bin35. The Bin folder has the ASP.NET 2.0 versions (built with ASP.NET Ajax 1.0) and the Bin35 folder has the ASP.NET 3.5 versions (build with ASP.NET 3.5). The toolbox installer will add the 3.5 assemblies to the VS 2008 toolbox. This means that if you create an ASP.NET 2.0 web site with VS 2008, our controls will not show up in the toolbox. If you create an ASP.NET 3.5 site, then the controls should be available.

What happens when you run the desktop shortcut? Do you see a message box saying "Please wait while the ASP.NET development server is started..."? As a workaround, you can run the examples from Visual Studio. The Prometheus start menu has a shortcut for opening the examples in VS. After you do that, right-click on the web site and select the "Browse..." option.

All the best,

Hello Lini,

The toolbox did not show up for both target frameworks. However after going to the program menu i saw a 'Register RadControls 'Prometheus' for ASPNET Q3 2007 items in the Visual Studio toolbox' shortcut. I clicked on that and now the controls are added successfully. Also the Live examples through vs2008 are no problem too, just the exe file does nothing, not even initiating a process when looking at the taskmanager.

Regards,

Frans

Hi Frans Rampen,

I suppose the StartExamples executable fails because of a problem with permissions. As a workaround, you can run the following command to start the examples with the VS 2008 dev webserver:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\9.0\WebDev.WebServer.EXE" /path:"C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls 'Prometheus' for ASPNET Q3 2007" /vpath:"/Prometheus"

or if you want to run the examples with ASP.NET 2.0 only:

"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\WebDev.WebServer.EXE
" /path:"C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls 'Prometheus' for ASPNET Q3 2007" /vpath:"/Prometheus"

We will investigate the problem with the launch executable and try to fix it for the next service pack release.
