Setting up F# in Visual Studio 2005

f#, functional-programming, visual-studio-2005

Solution

Unfortunately the CTP release of F# doesn't support VS 2005. Two options:

- Use 1.9.4.19, the most recent pre-CTP release

- Download the free VS2008 shell and use that instead (I haven't tried it, but apparently it works)

Problem

Are there any decent tutorials for setting up F# in Visual Studio 2005? Everything I have found points at VS2008. ie: 'F# projects' under projects, etc.
