Add support for Visual Studio Team Explorer 2017 #961
Conversation

I've added a dependency on the TeamExplorer extension (versions 14.0-15.*). This stops the VSIX Installer for showing it as an option for any instance of VS/VS Shell that doesn't have TeamExplorer installed. This is probably a good independently of Visual Studio Team Explorer, in case someone doesn't have TeamExplorer installed in Visual Studio. |

@jcansdale earlier today I got the same errors with PRs in certain repos while using the latest master build so I don't think what you're seeing is related to this PR. I was going to open up an issue about it, but then I logged out and back in again and haven't reproduced this problem since. |

From the Visual Studio website:
"Visual Studio Team Explorer 2017 is a rich, standalone client for accessing Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team Services and is free for any user. This install only includes Team Explorer so you can access version control and work item tracking without other IDE components."

At the very least, adding support for this could be useful for testing (a minimal install of VS with just the packages we need). It's also an obvious target for our extension!
At the moment all this PR does is allows the extension to load when the
InstallationTargetis "Microsoft.VisualStudio.IntegratedShell".We will likely want to check what components are available when loading the extension so we don't fail in any IntegratedShells that don't have Team Explorer available.
