Execution of F# code fails if only VS 2012 RC is installed
I have only VS 2012 RC installed on my PC. When I try to run any F# code LINQPad fails with the error "Cannot locate C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft F#\v4.0\fsc.exe - is F# installed?".
Windows 7 x64, Visual Studio 2012 RC (there have not been any versions of VS previously installed except 2012 RC).

Where is fsc.exe located on your machine?

It's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\3.0\Framework\v4.0.

Are you running the latest beta? LINQPad searches the folder you mention for fsc.exe. It will also recognize fsc.exe if it's in the same folder as LINQPad.exe:
static string GetFscPath () { string stem, path; path = Path.Combine (AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "fsc.exe"); if (File.Exists (path)) return path; #if V4 // Look for F# 3.0 compiler: stem = @"Microsoft SDKs\F#\3.0\Framework\v4.0\fsc.exe"; path = Path.Combine (PathHelper.ProgramFilesX86, stem); if (File.Exists (path)) return path; path = Path.Combine (PathHelper.ProgramFiles, stem); if (File.Exists (path)) return path; #endif // Look for F# 2.0 compiler: #if V4 stem = @"Microsoft F#\v4.0\fsc.exe"; #else stem = @"FSharp-2.0.0.0\bin\fsc.exe"; #endif path = Path.Combine (PathHelper.ProgramFilesX86, stem); if (File.Exists (path)) return path; path = Path.Combine (PathHelper.ProgramFiles, stem); if (File.Exists (path)) return path; return null; } -
Oh, I've tried it on stable build, 4.42.1. Now I've downloaded beta (4.42.12) and it works well!
BTW the awkward error message when compiling F# script with errors has gone away too!
Thanks!
