I used the tool. It found the different installations that I wanted removed. It removed pretty much everything VS2013 and VS2015 related as promised, from where I had been able to find it in File Explorer, where I first checked. Then I went to Programs and Features in the control panel, to see if the program listings had been removed, hhmmm not so, as these are where the "default" uninstallers are found and usually work for other programs previously installed. However, since I hadn't been able to previously complete the uninstall from this location (several attempts had been made), I thought I would give it another try, and BADABING baby, they actually finished and success was had, it was No longer in found in the Programs and Features list. I am glad it left the 3rd party stuff alone. Some how it hosed the VS 2017RC Community edition, it was where I had last found it, but it was disabled by unknown error.
