Answer 1

You're in luck! Windows 8 already has the .NET framework installed, and you can include FSharp.Core.dll in the same directory as your executable so that you don't need to install an F# package.

However, you'll have trouble getting the same executable to run on both the x86 and ARM versions of Windows 8. If that's a requirement, you might need to put your F# code into a Portable Library and make two different executables that reference it.

Answer 2

I only have visual studio 2010

without visual studio 2012, how can i put into portable library.

any alternative way?

i only want to run an executable file in placed in USB. I haven't defined the directory FSharp.Core.dll

does it mean that placing this dll, it will search local directory itself.

i am not sure whether notebook using x86 or 64 bit, i guess 64 bit, will it have trouble?
