# Setup.fsx
Adds registry keys for proper F# Web project support.
**Problem**: pure-F# Web projects do not work well in Visual Studio by default,
in particular adding a new item to the project is not possible.
**Solution**: This will hopefully be addressed in future VS versions.
**Workaround**: The issue with new project items can be worked around by adding
appropriate registry keys. Executing this script does just that.
