You need to install the redist (F# runtime) on the deployment machine. See e.g.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ee241127(VS.100).aspx (or http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee829875.aspx)

for info on how to have a VS project chain the installer. As you've found, the redist (located here:

) needs to be installed; FSharp.Core is not part of .NET, rather it is a separately installed component.
