Now that we know about the Command line switch and we are able to run an action belonging to the extension from the command line (https://github.com/conan-io/conan-vs-extension/pull/104), there is something much more powerful we can do: run an actual conan install ....
We need to create a CLI switch ConanInstall and then from the command line we should we able to run .../devenv.com /ConanInstall <path-to-sln>, it will trigger the conan install command from the extension and add the property pages to every project. Then, we can just build the SLN.
