Available NuGet Packages
Telerik UI for WPF comes with several different packages that can be installed via the Telerik server or from a local package source.
The Telerik dlls are built against different versions of .NET starting from .NET 4.6.2 to the latest official .NET. The dlls can be separated into two categories - Xaml and NoXaml. This creates a rich set of assemblies that can be downloaded which are also available as nuget packages.
The packages can be downloaded as .nupkg files which can be used to setup a local package source or alternatively the online Telerik package source can be used. These two different options contain a slightly different set of packages. This article aims to list and describe the packages.
NuGet Local Packages
The Telerik UI for WPF product provides .nupkg files that can be downloaded from your telerik.com account. The download page has the following .zip files.
Full Packages (Local)
The Telerik_UI_for_WPF_<version number>__NuGet_Separate_Packages_<Xaml or NoXaml>.zip file contains the separate .nupkg package files, along with one big full package that references all separate packages.
The full package is named Telerik.UI.for.Wpf.AllControls.<Xaml or NoXaml>.<version number>

Each of these packages contain all .NET versions of the corresponding Telerik dll. The package names ending with .Xaml contain the Xaml version of the Telerik dlls. The ones without .Xaml in the name have the NoXaml version.
The oldest nuget package that can be found in the Telerik NuGet Feed is 2016.3.1024.
NuGet Packages and Controls Localization
The Telerik controls have a built-in localization support. To enable this, the corresponding satellite assemblies should be presented in the folder where the Telerik assemblies are installed. These assemblies are available when you install the product using the full NuGet packages. The separate packages don't include the satellite assemblies. To support localization properly, these dlls should be installed. To do so, use also the separate packages with the language resources.
The separate package with the language resources is named Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.<language code>. For example, Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.fr will include the French resources. Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.de will include the German resources, and so on.
