Latest build fails to install #304

I was looking for the latest version which supports Cargo build. So I downloaded the 154 build (VS2015) But it fails to install with the error:

The file is not a valid VSIX package

Visual Studio 2017 (Community) The plugin installs ok. But no Rust project template under "New Project" category

AppVeyor build is missing templates currently: https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/VisualRust/issues/283

There are other issues which may be causing (un)install failures of the msbuild side of things: https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/VisualRust/issues/301

It might be worth checking %APPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0\ActivityLog.xml to see if there's some other reason the installation failed as well.

Although, the vsix is the plugin, so it sounds like it installed at least that portion. https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/VisualRust/pull/286 should fix the bugs I linked, although we still need to get it merged. An unofficial/preview build https://ci.appveyor.com/project/MaulingMonkey/visualrust/build/8 fixes the missing templates and many other issues, although it doesn't contain the #301 fixes from that branch (git lfs quota issues :disappointed:)
