Your problem lies in the Microsoft.FSharp.Reflectio n.Value namespace, which is not available on the newer releases of FSharp. I researched all FSharp libraries to find out where the types like GetSumTagConverters, GetSumTagReader and IsOptionType has gone to, but all of them seem to have disappeared from the radar.
soft.com/f sharp/manu al/FSharp. Core/ Micro soft.FShar p.Reflecti on.Value.h tml but has vanished.
The Microsoft Research Team page that describes this namespace, has also disappeared, it used to be located here:http://research.micro
I have written to the bugs team of F# to ask for clarification on what to use instead. You may also want to write yourself to the blog-writer to update the code to work with the newest releases of F#. The language F# is still in development, changes like these can happen from version to version. And there's been quite some moving around of types and namespaces.

PS: you were the first to ask in the F# zone. Hope that there'll be more to come :)
