No detecting the installation of Remote Tools for Visual Studio #288

Closed netkawai closed 1 year ago

After I installed only Remote Tools for Visual Studio, I noticed that vswhere does not detect that installation. Is there any plan to detect those separate yet sort of part of Visual Studio tools?

That does not use the same installer engine so would not work with vswhere. I suggesting searching for existing searches such as registry (since it's installed machine-wide) or Windows Installer product queries.
