Well, on my machine with VS2019.RC4 and VS2017.Buildtools (replaces
VS2017.9, one IDE is enough) installed, vswhere picks up only VS2019:

instanceId: b1b66fa0
installDate: 24.03.2019 17:14:45
installationName: VisualStudio/16.0.0+28721.148.rc.4
installationPath: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2019\Professional
installationVersion: 16.0.28721.148

Microsoft's Visual Studio installer shows both installed SKUs though.
