The Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX delivers the following available package types:

-
* An [MSI file]({%slug introduction/installation/installing-the-telerik-controls-from-msi-file%}) for automatic installation. The Windows Installer Package (**MSI**) files are intended for easy and automatic installation of a product. The **MSI** installer unpacks the controls on your computer in a folder named **Telerik** in your `Program Files`. Additionally, the installer package adds the Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX help files to your VS.NET IDE and to your local copy of [MSDN](https://msdn.microsoft.com/) if you have one installed. If selected from the **Feature Selection** screen, the installer will automatically add the Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX Visual Studio Extensions and populate your Visual Studio Toolbox with the Telerik controls.

If you already have Telerik controls installed by the MSI package, you can safely install an updated version—the installer will keep your existing installation. The new files will be placed in a separate folder and the new installation will not damage the common installer files. For more information and examples, refer to the article on [major and minor releases installation]({%slug introduction/installation/upgrading-instructions/major-and-minor-releases-installation%}).

* A [ZIP library]({%slug introduction/installation/installing-the-telerik-controls-from-zip-file%}) file for manual (advanced) installation. The **ZIP** is used for manual (advanced) installations and for upgrading or updating purposes. The folder structure is different from the Windows Installer (**MSI**) package. You need to be familiar with ASP.NET, IIS, setting permissions, and creating virtual folders. It is a common practice to unpack the manual installation ZIP file directly to `inetpub/wwwroot`. To [deploy on shared hosting]({%slug introduction/deployment/deploying-on-shared-hosting%}), use the ZIP file.

*[DLL files only (or HOTFIX)]({%slug introduction/installation/using-the-hotfix-(dlls-and-scripts/skins-only)%}) for updating or upgrading a product to a later version. This is a bare-bones upgrade option for the controls. The `HOTFIX` contains only the files that your Web Project needs to run correctly. Besides the assemblies, it contains the latest JavaScript files and skins (if you've needed to use these as external files), the up-to-date Editor dialogs, and Spell dictionaries.

Telerik provides a NuGet feed that you can use to download only the necessary assemblies to get the project running.
