title: Why does loading the System assembly work in the F# Repl, but not in compiled code?
body: <pre><code>let system = System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("System")
  ()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works for me in the Repl, but not when compiled. Any idea why?</p>
  
  <p>On compiled, I get the following exception:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.</p>
