FWIW, I have to use both 2017 and 2015.  Consequently, I always manually 
open a dedicated Visual Studio command prompt for x86, x64, VS2015, 
VS2017 as appropriate.  Plus with VS2017, many of the directory paths to 
reach the various support files and executables are too long.  I have a 
permanent link with mklink that is
C:\v7 = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise"
