Minimum software requirement to run build.bat (what product has fsi.exe?)

[KST]

Hi,

I'm learning SolrNET. I downloaded SolrNet-master.zip, unzipped it

to my brand new Windows 8.1 installation (no Visual Studio).  

I ran AspNetMVC2_VS2008.exe and dotnetfx35setup.exe, and installed JDK 8.

When I ran build.bat, it failed like this:

C:\Users\me\opt\SolrNet-master>build.bat

C:\Users\me\opt\SolrNet-master>lib\fake.exe build.fsx

Build failed.

Error:

Start of process fsi.exe failed. The system cannot find the file specified

Does fsi.exe belong to a Visual Studio? If so, which version?

[KST]

I installed Visual Studio 2012 but build.bat still failed. After a further inspection I found a file SolrNet-master/lib/FAKE.exe.config that seemed to define a path, like:

    <add key="FSIPath" value=".\tools\FSharp\;.\lib\FSharp\;[ProgramFiles]\Microsoft F#\v4.0\;[ProgramFilesX86]\Microsoft F#\v4.0\;[ProgramFiles]\FSharp-2.0.0.0\bin\;[ProgramFilesX86]\FSharp-2.0.0.0\bin\;[ProgramFiles]\FSharp-1.9.9.9\bin\;[ProgramFilesX86]\FSharp-1.9.9.9\bin\;[ProgramFilesX86]\Microsoft SDKs\F#\3.1\Framework\v4.0\" />

I don't have any of these directories listed here, but

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\3.1\Framework\v4.0

is very close to what I have:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\3.0\Framework\v4.0

I went ahead and replaced 3.1 with 3.0, and ran built.bat. This time, it started compiling and finished without an error. 

But there are lots of warnings like below. Can I just dismiss them or are they an indication of serious problems?

Yep, you can safely ignore those warnings.
