Visual Studio 2017 introduces an on-demand install to compliment its initial small installation footprint. It can also be installed to different folders in different configurations, so a new API was needed to discover where Visual Studio is located.

To make this easy for Visual Studio extension developers, you can use and even redistribute VSIXBootstrapper.exe to install extensions. It will find VSIXInstaller.exe - even for older versions of Visual Studio as old as VS2010 - and pass through any command line arguments.
