[Scons-users] how to configure scons for Visual Studio 2017 (RC)

[Bill Deegan]

Is there a vcvarsall.bat in VS 2017?
A pastebin of the exact output would be helpful..

Looks like microsoft "improved" things.  So now you can have multiple
installs of VS2017, but they don't add to registry.
They have a package you can install and then you can call their API from
C#,C++ to find the locations.

I'm not sure what genius thought this was a reasonable solution to tools
which need to find VS's installation location.
