Does anyone have any experience with installing the Visual Studio Isolated Shell and using it with F#?
It installed successfully, but when I click on the devenv.exe, it opens VS, but gives me the error "Invalid License Data. Reinstall is required". I have done that many times to no avail.
Googling for this issue, I find that devenv.exe is not supposed to work in this isolated mode directly, but rather, I should have another custom executable that targets the VS Shell. This seems to be true for IronPython Studio which I downloaded and works fine.
However, I cannot believe there isn't anything similar for F#. Any input in this matter is greatly appreciated.
F# requires the VS Integrated Shell.
