On my machine (msvc-10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2) I get the following
from vswhere:

C:\Users\tomkent>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe" -products * -property InstallationName
VisualStudio/16.0.0+28721.148.rc.4
VisualStudio/15.9.10+28307.557

C:\Users\tomkent>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe" -products * -property displayName
Visual Studio Build Tools 2019
Visual Studio Enterprise 2017

C:\Users\tomkent>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe" -products * -property InstallationPath
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise
