Attempt to resolve
I have 3 versions installed, so I'm not sure which directory use use:
cd c:\programdata\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\_Instances\
dir
15/12/2017 10:25 <DIR> 92b5e4e1
05/12/2017 20:57 <DIR> a23816c9
15/12/2017 10:22 <DIR> c6ffbe0c
Will try the following from: #1206 (comment)
This fix is actually pretty painful (especially if you have more than one version installed) and not something we'd want to give our users!
