Cant find kendo aspnetmvc zip file download - kendo-ui

This may be a bit of a silly question, but here goes..
I'm new to kendo UI and asp.net mvc, so i got myself a book to get me started.
However, in the exercise in the book, they use a kendo for asp.net mvc zip file.
I have looked around on the kendoUI website and it also says that you have the option to either download the msi or a zip file, but for the asp.net download, it does not give me an option, just automatically downloads the msi installer.
Anybody know how I can get the kendo UI Complete for asp.net MVC??
Will really appreciate the help.
Thanks

You can check the different packages and download them here: http://www.kendoui.com/download.aspx
They have a 30 day trial for "Kendo UI Complete for ASP.NET MVC"

This is a good introduction to ASP.NET MVC and there is a link to where to find all you need.
Check also their page on ASP.NET MVC here where you can also find a link to the downloads.

CKEditor dll for ASP.NET

I am looking for CKEditor for ASP.NET but unable to use it because the dll library files are not provided in the setups available. Please guide how to include the dll library and provide any link where i can get those libraries.
If you're using ASP.NET WebForms (not MVC) and you're willing to use an older version of CKEditor (3.x from 2014) then you can download CKEditor for ASP.NET from the main download page. Scroll down until you see the "CKEditor 3.6.6.2 for ASP.NET" heading and click "Download now".
You'll get a zip file with a sample project including the DLL in debug and release versions. I just downloaded it now and it contains the DLLs.
Complete setup instructions are available here.
However, if you're not using WebForms this will not be of any use to you. I would also strongly suggest using the latest version of CKEditor (4.5.9 at the time of writing) and just adding the CKEditor script to your pages along with a textbox to hold the editor content.

Updating a website to a new version of Telerik

I am maintaining a website that use this version of Telerik: 2012.3.1018. With this version I have files with telerik prefix like:
-telerik.all.min.js
-telerik.autocomplete.min.js
-telerik.calendar.min.js
...
...
-telerik.window.min.js
The business want to update the site to a new version: telerik.ui.for.aspnetmvc.2014.1.528.commercial
I found the css, but I can't find the js files. Are they discontinued?
I am seeing just kendo.js files and I am missing telerik.js files. Can anyone help me to understand the difference between Telerik's version?
Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC has been discontinued in 2013. The successor product is Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC (ASP.NET MVC wrappers for Kendo UI). Have in mind that those products are not compatible and there are API and behavior changes. There is a migration guide available here: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/migration/migrating-from-telerik-extensions-for-aspnet-mvc

What are these extra javascript files in my ASP.NET 4.5 WebForms project?

I created a new ASP.NET 4.5 WebForms project and found a bunch of extra javascript files pertaining to GridView, DetailsView and other data related components as well as MSAjax. I assume they are to help with AJAX on data components, but I don't know how to use them.
I read almost every ASP.net announcement and haven't heard anything about these files and searched Google and didn't find anything either.
Those files belong to the Microsoft Ajax Library,it's a collection of tools similar to jQuery. MSDN describes it like this :
"Microsoft Ajax features enable you to quickly create Web pages that provide a rich user experience and that include responsive and familiar user interface (UI) elements. Microsoft Ajax includes client-script libraries that incorporate cross-browser ECMAScript (JavaScript) and dynamic HTML (DHTML) technologies. By using Microsoft Ajax, you can improve the user experience and the efficiency of your Web applications."

How to override and localize client-side validation messages for ASP.NET MVC 4?

I've created custom validators with localized strings which are loaded from my satellite resource assemblies. Now I want to override default MVC messages like "{0} must be a number".
In this article:
http://martinnormark.com/asp-net-mvc-localize-numeric-data-val-number-validation
the author says
I was browsing through the source code of ASP.NET MVC 4, and found a
changeset that looks like will fix this issue. In short, it will be
possible to define your own ResourceClassKey, and the MVC framework
will use that before using default error messages. Nice!
So I started looking how to use the new features but most of solutions seem outdated and don't work or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
How do I override client side error messages in MVC 4 using resource dll files?
Does MVC itself always decide which resource assembly to pick or I can somehow force it to pick the one I need for a specific language?
Somehow this article
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/42168/Localizing-ASP-NET-MVC
did not appear in my earlier searches.
The key point was to add the App_GlobalResources folder manually and move resource assemblies there, and only then it picked up our custom messages.
For some reason the App_GlobalResources folder is missing when creating MVC 4 app in Visual Studio 2012 so we assumed that it is not needed any more. But when digging through the MVC source code, we found that MVC is using HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject which looks in App_GlobalResources. Oh, Microsoft, come on, why are you doing this... we spent three days looking for various complex solutions just because you threw out that folder from the latest MVC version.
