Trying to read resx files from wrong folder?

This might just be me having configured something wrong... The project works fine locally but the resource file reader breaks when I deploy to test environments.

I am trying to figure out where the Resource type provider is finding the filepath from. Locally everything works fine, but when I deploy my project ResXProvider seems to try to read the file from a path on my buildserver. Everything works if I actually go and put the resource file in the buildpath folder, so there is only some issue with where the system tries to go and find the resource file.

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'E:\TeamCity\BuildAgent3\work\d15d54883fe35cc\MyProject\Resources1.resx'.

I also get the same behavior locally, it is is looking for the resource file in the source code directory. I can't publish all the source code right now, unfortunately. The only difference from your test project I can see is that I am using F# 3.1 (4.3.1.0) instead of 3.0 as the test project. I did have some issues including the resource file (I can not find a way to create Resource files from Visual Studio as in C# projects, so I ended up taking yours from the test project and changing it, which did work except for the fact that I could not change name of the resource, it had be called Resource1.resx... This might just be an issue with using resx files in F#, it doesn't seem like the tooling is that good (I am using VS2013 premium update 3)?

I am reverting to using app.config for the strings for now, but it would be nice to be able to use resource files.
