I have found a section on installing the Telerik controls in the MM.NET help file, but I think that is how to get them installed on the development machine, not how to install them on the client's machine. I have also found these instructions here

LOL. I think this is why I hate the documentation that comes with a lot of products. It assumed I would know the normal scenario. I had just searched for "deploying" and "distributing" and all I found was that process to merge things.
