Visual Studio selects the highest version of the sdk installed on the machine when executing scripts in FSI

[KevinRansom]

This is incorrect behavior, it should select the version of the Sdk that shipped with the VS being executed.

Edited:
Okay, the current Fsi behaviour is this, if you start with send to interactive, it uses a global.son when present in the same directory as the script to figure out which Sdk to use.
If you specify nothing it does not use a global.json instead it selects the highest framework installed, which is slightly different to what the Sdk does, it selects the Sdk that was shipped with VS.

I propose changing the no global.json specified mechanism to use the version shipped with that VS. To change the specified VS add a script and include a global.json in the directory containing the script:

When you start an F# interactive session in VS you see this:

That's debatable - any global.json the user may have would also influence SDK selection and therefore the FSI chosen.

This. It should take global json into account. Like it does for building.

@baronfel , @vzarytovskii --- so are you suggesting that what we do now is correct? or perhaps that the actual final implementation requires a more rigourous analysis than is currently described above?

And could you point me to the description of Visual Studios actual behavior so that I can modify the description above.

Thanks
