Play Extensions in Visual Studio 2017
Description
In this episode, Robert is joined by Justin Clareburt, who shows us what users of extensions can expect in Visual Studio 2017. Justin first reviews the new setup experience, because that impacts extensions. Among the things he shows are lightweight solution loading [07:35], how you can monitor the performance of extensions and see whether they are slowing you down [09:00], how extension builders can specify what Visual Studio components are required to run the extension [18:50] and how to build an extension [24:45].

FitDev Great video!
But I could not figure out how to install more than one particular SKU (Like VS Community 2017 RC) side-by-side for different workloads.
I have the latest version of the installer, but once a SKU is installed, I can only launch / modify it, I cannot install a second or a third version of it (with different workloads). Any ideas what is wrong? Will this be fixed in RTM?

JustCla @FitDev:
The only way to have side-by-side installations at the moment is to have different editions (Community, Pro, Enterprise)
Or to get a SKU from a different distribution channel.We are looking to bring in side-by-side installation of the same SKU in Update 1 or 2.

FitDev @JustCla Thank you for clarifying! Will be looking forward to this feature in the next update then!
