janpio opened a new issue #344: Use `vswhere` for better Visual Studio and MSBuildTools detection
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/issues/344
 
 
   Microsoft added `vswhere` to the default install of Visual Studio 2017:
   https://github.com/Microsoft/vswhere
   https://github.com/Microsoft/vswhere/wiki/Find-MSBuild
   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/tools-for-managing-visual-studio-instances
   https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/heaths/2017/04/21/vswhere-is-now-installed-with-visual-studio-2017/
   
   We already use it in `appveyor.yml` to debug output these paths for the CI environment. It would be handy to also use this simple command in `MSBuildTools.js` and similar code instead of what is currently there (which is really confusing and party bad).
