How to integrate F# and Notepad++

People a faced with challenges trying to install F# interactive plugin for Notepad++ (example). I am not an exception, going through all of this i want to share my experience.

1) First of all download latest version of the Notepad++ and install it(default installation settings)
    For today it is Notepad++ 5.9.8 (Jan 5 2012)
2) Download NPPFSIPlugin Version 0.1.1.
3) Extract dll from achieve and copy it to Notepad++\plugins\ folder.
    On the my Win7 64bit machine it is 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\'.
4) Open or re-open you Notepad++ application.
5) Go to Plugins\F# Interactive\Options menu item.
6) Specify Binary Path to fsi.exe file.
    For example:
      F# 2.0 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft F#\v4.0\fsi.exe
      F# 3.0 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\3.0\Framework\v4.0\fsi.exe
    Before use this paths check that you you have installed appropriate version of F# in that location.  
7) Save you changes. Now it should work.
    Alt+T to open F# interactive
    Alt+Enter to to send selected text to F# Interactive

It is also very nice to have a F# syntax highlighting.
1) Download xml file with user definition language for Notepad++ from here or here.
2) Rename file to userDefineLang.xml.
3) Replace  ext="fs"  to  ext="fs fsi"  in the file.
4) Copy this file to %APPDATA%\Notepad++\ folder. (for more details go here )
    Path should be like this : C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++
5) Restart Notepad++.

Note: If you already have such file open both. (instructions is copied from here)
1) Select all of the new file, copy, and paste at the end of the current file
