Yes, the VS2010 RC is being made available to the general public today, and our plan is to post a new CTP (MSI & ZIP) for VS2008 today as well... you'll see a release announcement when it happens :)

Regarding some of the other questions, there are no changes to the long-standing plans:

  • The F# tools (compiler, fsi, VS integration) are available as an integrated part of VS2010, or as a separate group of components available as the CTP (that integrates with VS2008)
  • The F# runtime (FSharp.Core.dll) is also available as a redistributable package (since you need this for various deployment scenarios)
  • The F# 'PowerPack' will be released on CodePlex

so for example, if you want fsi.exe, you either install VS2010, or install the CTP.

Since the compiler source will be made MS-PL after RTM wouldn't it then be possible to embed that in our apps?

Hi,

unfortunately the .NET Framework 4.0 RC comes without F# installed and installing the "F# runtime" doesn't install the Fsi.exe.

How can I get the FSI without installing VS2010 RC?

My problem is that my build tool project ("FAKE - F# Make") uses the Fsi in order to run the build scripts. Is there a way to host the Fsi or to bundle it with my project? Are there any licence issues if I bundle the FSI?

We can't add VS2010 as a requirement for build agents.

Regards,
forki

@forki: My guess is there will be a CTP (in both MSI and ZIP formats) release in a few days. I know I'll be using this on my Mac. Its probably your best bet for getting a full set of F# tools without 2010.
