When using Visual Studio Locator version 3.1.7+f39851e70f if passing vswhere.exe -version [17.0.5,17.1) I get

However, if I pass vswhere.exe -version [17.0.5,17.0.6) I get no match.

From what I can tell of https://github.com/microsoft/vswhere/wiki/Versions, this should be valid and working syntax

Because the version is 17.0.32112.339 (from installationVersion, catalog_buildVersion) not 17.0.5, which is the product display version. Why these have diverged over time I cannot say, but it has more to do with branding. Sorry for any confusion, but please use the installationVersion for version queries.
