Version 2.0.0.0 breaks fslex/fsyacc build in VS2010

description

Hi,
 
I have a F# project with a fslex and fsyacc file. With Version 1.9.9.9 it builds fine.
The PowerPack bin directory is not listed in the PATH.
 
Upgrading to 2.0.0.0 the fslex and fsyacc binaries are searched in the wrong place and not found.
Even changing the PATH variable to contain the PowerPack bin directory does not solve this problem.
 
The resulting error code is:
 
C:\Program Files\MSBuild\FSharp\1.0\FSharp.PowerPack.Targets(32,3): Fehler MSB6004: Der Speicherort "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\fslex.exe" der angegebenen ausführbaren Datei der Aufgabe ist ungültig.
 
After downgrading to 1.9.9.9 the build works flawlessly again.
 
Thanks for the support,
Vince

Hi Vince,
it is indeed a bug in 2.0.0.0 release (I forgot to update a version number in FSharp.PowerPack\CompilerLocationUtil.fs).
As a workaround, you can add a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\FSharp.PowerPack-1.9.9.9 key with a default value pointing to PowerPack 2.0.0.0 installation (C:\Program Files (x86)\FSharpPowerPack-2.0.0.0\bin).

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Hope this helps,
Dmitry

I can't install 1.9.9.9 next to 2.0.0.0. Is there a fix if you just have 2.0.0.0?

Just install 2.0.0.0 and modify the registry

I reinstalled 2.0.0.0 and modified the registry but still get the error:

------ Rebuild All started: Project: Naga, Configuration: Debug x86 ------

I have written a PowerShell script that does the patch:

Run this after installation of F# PowerPack 2.0.0.0

$path = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\FSharp.PowerPack-1.9.9.9'
$null = New-Item $path -Force
$bin = (Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\FSharp.PowerPack-2.0.0.0').'(default)'
Set-ItemProperty $path '(default)' $bin

Folks,
I have updated 2.0.0.0 build with this a fix to this.

Thanks,
Dmitry

If the correct answer is that I need to move a DLL from the F# SDK (on Windows), that is fine. But I'd like to know whether anyone else has tried this and discovered any other important dependencies to make the PowerPack work in general. <a href="http://www.realdissertationwriting.com/" rel="dofollow">dissertation help</a> | <a href="http://www.realassignmentwriting.com/" rel="dofollow">assignment help</a> | <a href="http://www.realessaywriting.com/" rel="dofollow">essay help</a>
