IntelliSense doesn't work for Office interop assemblies

[enricosada]

ref https://github.com/ionide/ionide-vscode-fsharp/issues/714

Consider the following code script:

#if INTERACTIVE
#r "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll"
#endif
open Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

let getFullName userName =
    let outlook = ApplicationClass()
    let message = outlook.CreateItem(OlItemType.olMailItem) :?> MailItem
    message.Recipients.Add(userName) |> ignore
    message.Recipients.ResolveAll() |> ignore
    message.Recipients
    |> Seq.cast<Recipient>
    |> Seq.map (fun r -> r.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser().Name)
    |> Seq.head

The project loading fails to resolve Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

checked in vs2015 and load correctly.

It doesnt work with neither new project loader nor projectcracker

Is this still an issue? The corresponding Ionide issue was closed.

For the above script, if you reference the DLL like below, it works fine for me:

#r @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Office15\Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll"
