cannot find designtime dll
Description
With the change to version 1.0.x the F# interactive is not able to find the designtime dll. It searches in the lib directory while it should be looking in the typeproviders directory,
Repro steps
Reference the runtime dll and open FSharp.Interop.Excel . The fsi will be complaining about the TypeProviderAssembly attribute refering to a designtime dll.
Expected behavior
Automatic resolving of path to designtime dll
Actual behavior
Cannot find designtime dll.
Known workarounds
Copy content of typeproviders directory to lib directory.

Maybe is possible to amend the [<TypeProviderAssembly("ExcelProvider.DesignTime.dll")>] statement in ExcelProvider.Runtime.fs

Supposedly it has to do with this.
I'm still having this issue. On linux, with F# 4.5
error FS3031 : The type provider '/home/user/.nuget/packages/excelprovider/1.0.1/lib/netstandard2.0/ExcelProvider.Runtime.dll' reported an error : Assembly attribute 'TypeProviderAssemblyAttribute' refers to a designer assembly 'ExcelProvider.DesignTime.dll' which cannot be loaded or doesn't exist. Could not load file or assembly 'FSharp.Core, Version=4.4.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified. [/home/user/project/src/App/App.fsproj]
With the release of v2.0.0 this issue should be resolved. Please comment if anybody still encounters the issue with version 2.0
I am closing this issue as it no longer seems to be a problem. @natsukagami if you still experience this issue let me know and I will look at it again
