Hi Theophilus57,

Thank you for your post.

Some clarification with you:
Which edition of Visual Studio 2008 are you running now?

For the newest release of F#, either with the Visual Studio 2010 Beta1 or as a CTP add-on for Visual Studio 2008. The F# releases include the compiler, libraries, and Visual Studio integration needed to get started developing with F#.

If you are running Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions, I would suggest you to install Visual Studio 2008 Shell before the CTP F# add-on installation since it seems that The F# Visual Studio extensions won't work with the Express editions.

We can notice the following system requirement of Microsoft F#, May 2009 Community Technology Preview:
Optional software: Visual Studio 2008 or the Visual Studio 2008 Shell.

If no avail, you also can do it yourself with Visual Studio IDE to work with F#, please check: http://codemiscellany.blogspot.com/2007/12/do-it-yourself-visual-f-express-2008.html

Hope this helps. If you have any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
Yichun Chen
