I'm the creator/maintainer for vswhere and happy to see the effort here!
One suggestion: I do publish the versions to nuget for easy retrieval. You can make a ximple OData query to https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/Packages?$filter=Id%20eq%20%27vswhere%27%20and%20IsPrerelease%20eq%20false&$orderby=Version%20desc&$top=1 and parse out the latest version. The GitHub API could also work to get the latest release but would require setting up a token to call it. The file downloaded from nuget.org is just a ZIP (extension .vsix, which is just an OPC) and vswhere can be found at tools/vswhere.exe. That way, you don't have to keep the version you download up to date (currently it's already out of date). I have a battery of tests I use to make sure it's backward compatible.
