Installing F# in visual studio code - f#

I am trying to install F# with Visual studio code in Windows 10. I have installed dotnet framework first.
Then I have installed lonide-fsharp in visual studio code.
Then I have included the path of fsi in visual studio by clicking the Preferences->extensions->selected F# and Included the path.
Now in the visual studio code I typed ctrl+shift+p then I have typed fsi start, I am getting an error.
I tried with '/' and '\'. in the path. Every time I change I uninstalled the lonide and installed it again.
When I do fsi start ,F# should get started or what are all the other ways that I can make F# to start.
What is happening here is 'C:/Program Files/dotnet/sdk/3.0.100/FSharp/fsi the path does not exist'.

First, make sure you have the latest version of VS Code and Ionide.
Then, if you install the .NET Core 3.0 SDK from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download, then it should install fsi.exe to that path. And then F# Interactive should just work with Ionide without any other configuration needed.

MSVCP140.dll missing in VS2013 + Win7

I am trying to install OpenCV 3.2.0 and run CannyStill.cpp according to the following instructions.
Installation Cheat Sheet 1 - OpenCV 3 and C++.pdf
I am using VS2013 plus Win7.
I have set the Runtime Library to /MTd.
I have installed VC++ 2015 Redistributables.
but the problem is not going away.
How can I solve the issue?
The problem is that your OpenCV was compiled with another Visual Studio compiler (2015). With the redistributables you will get the release version of the dll, but not the debug one. The error is complaining about
MSVCP140D.dll
which is for debuging.
Possible solutions
You can recompile OpenCV (why is not compiled with the same visual studio in the first place?) with VS2013 and use that one.
Install VS2015 and use that one.
Compile it and run it in release mode.
Choose whichever suits you :)

Error when starting fsi

I have installed F# using Visual Studio Community Edition and I also installed the Visual F# 4.0 Tools
When I run fsi from a command prompt an exception is thrown
I also tried adding the F# to the path, but that did not solve the problem. What else should I do?
Edit:
If I run fsi directly from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\4.0\Framework\v4.0 it works.
I had my problem fixed with using the F# forum on google.
But for the reference, here's the solution.
After running where fsi I had this output:
λ where fsi
C:\Program Files\dotnet\bin\fsi.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\4.0\Framework\v4.0\Fsi.exe
For some reason fsi from dotnet core is not working. I changed the order in my system path so that the F# Tools came before dotnet core and that fixed the problem.
Uninstall the Visual F# 4.0 tools, then start Visual Studio and check if the F# interactive window works there. This could be something specific to your machine or a mismatch between VS2015 and the F# Tools. Specifically VS2015 Update 1 had some wrong redirects. And the F# there is higher than F# 4.0 Tools. Can you confirm your VS2015 version?
Btw, fsi.exe should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\4.0\Framework\v4.0
and the version is Microsoft (R) F# Interactive version 14.0.23413.0

DNX design time error - System cannot find file specified

When i try to run the ASP NET 5 solution, i get below error.
Microsoft Visual Studio Error
The following error occurred attempting to run the DNX design time process (dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0.0-beta8).
The system cannot find the file specified.
The DNX design time process provides intellisense, build, and reference information to Visual Studio and without it your experience will be very limited. Please try closing and reopening Visual Studio to see if that corrects the problem. Alternatively, check that the DNX version is properly installed or try changing to a different installed DNX version using the project property pages.
The project is not finding DNX SDK (if you look at the project properties you may see an empty drop-list next to 'Solution DNX SDK version').
If you are on windows 7, I suspect you may have an old version of powershell installed. You need at least version 3.0.

Is there a way to install F# 3.0 without Visual Studio?

I was hoping to upgrade to F# 3.0 but I can't find either a packaged F# 3.0 compiler on Microsoft site, nor if there is an express version to use. Is it possible to install F# 3.0 for use from the command line or a simple IDE and if so, how?
The standalone version of F# is not available yet, but F# tools for Visual Studio Express have been released just 2 days ago, so you can get F# 3.0 for free.
Announcing F# Tools for Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web!
As far as I know, there are definitely plans for open-source release (that can be integrated with MonoDevelop) and it would make sense to have a stand-alone installer too (otherwise you could still just compile the open-source release), but I don't think there are specific dates for that.
The easiest way I've got it to run:
http://www.heartysoft.com/build-fsharp-3-on-build-server-without-vs
Essentially using the direct download link on the Web PI tools.
I have successfully make a standalone F# 3.0 works without Visual Studio 2012.
First, find a workstation with F# 3.0 installed. (source)
Duplicate all the things to destination workstation.
-> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#
-> C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\FSharp
-> C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\FSharp*
Install .NET 4.5 at destination.
Export all the registry item with FSC.exe string to destination.
Export all the registry item with FSharp string to destination.
f# 3.0 registry.rar
if you don't know how to export the registry items, please download this file and use powershell to import all this .reg file.
PowerShell script: (put the .reg files into c:\xxx suppossedly )
cd c:\xxx
dir *.reg | %{ ('reg import "' + $_.Name + '"') | cmd }
I'm assuming most of you seeking an answer to this question by now probably wouldn't mind the most recent version, which is 4.0. You can download this as a standalone at F# 4.0 . This does not include the supporting assemblies and will fail by itself. So you'll also have to download and install the Microsoft Build Tools 2015 . Should be all set to go from there, no installing the mega-massive visual studio. Of course if you need an IDE you'll need to seek out a free one.
You can use Nuget CLI to install the F# Compiler Tools without relying on Visual Studio. As a plus, this procedure does not require admin rights.
Visit nuget.org/downloads and download the latest nuget.exe file.
Instruct your browser to save the file to a folder of your choice.
Add the folder where you placed nuget.exe to your PATH environment variable to use the CLI tool from anywhere.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where you want to install F# Tools.
Run "nuget install FSharp.Compiler.Tools -Version {version}", where {version} is replaced with a version from https://www.nuget.org/packages/FSharp.Compiler.Tools
Add the 'tools' directory to your PATH Environment Variable and then you will be able to use fsc and fsi from the command line.
There is not currently a standalone version of F# 3.0. However, one has been promised
I run F# 3.0 from the cygwin command line on Windows 7. You need to know a little about Linux/Unix to use cygwin, but the basics are not too difficult. You need the basic cygwin shell (command interpreter) and an editor. I am used to vi, so cygwin has vim (there exists a nice F# syntax color addon to vim).
You need to:
Install visual studio in order to get F#
in /users/myname/.bashrc add the location of Fsc.exe, which in my case is
/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/F#/3.0/Framework/v4.0
to your PATH.

error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'cl.exe'

I converted VS2006 vc++ project to VS2008. When compiling I get the above error. How do i fix it? am I missing this exe ?
There is a bug in the Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition installer. It does not install cl.exe if you only install Visual C++ but not Visual C#. To work around this you have to install Visual C# even if you do not need this.
cl.exe is VS2008 (and any other VS) C/C++ compiler, so check for more detailed error message why it cannot be spawned. Be sure you've installed C++ language support when installing VS2008.
It could be that your "path" environment variable does not contain the path to the folder where cl.exe is located.
Another possible reason could be that when installing VS2008, you did not select the option to install the Win32 tools (which include the command line compiler).
In any case, you may want to try to repair the installation of VS2008 (by running its setup via Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs), or use its "Add/Remove components" option and add the "Win32 tools" option (under Visual C++ - Visual C++ Tools).
I had this problem under Windows 10 and solved it by adding the following paths to the PATH environment variable:
C:\ProgramFilesC\VS2008\Common7\IDE
C:\ProgramFilesC\VS2008\VC\bin\x86_amd64
where C:\ProgramFilesC\VS2008 is the path where I installed Visual Studio.
Actually this error occurs because of path is not correctly set.
Goto Tools>Options>Directories> show directories for > Select Executable files
Here copy the path address from the folder where you installed and paste that path address
G:\Program files\vb (visual basic) 6.0\Visual Basic 6.0\VC98\BIN
then click OK.
This may work for you.
