Support custom Visual Studio installation

My Visual Studio is at C:\IDEs\... so I get an exception when running the project. I was able to fix it by editing the path, but I think a more general solution is warranted.
Do you have a good suggestion? Right now, it uses "program files" as a prefix.
Should the full path to the "extensions" dir be an argument? Or just the path to the visual studio installation (base) path?
Do the extensions always reside within the Visual Studio installation path? If so, I would probably use that. Default it to what you have now.
Ok, I did it. A little bit different though. It still takes those two vs14 paths by default, but now you can override this by specifying one or multiple paths on the command-line. It has to be the full path to the extension dir(s) though. I updated the readme.
I saw that vs 2017 install locations changed a bit, so if vs2017 still has this issue, you could use this tool too I suppose (untested).
Oh note that you'll have to specify the appdata dir yourself too when doing this. So creating a .bat or anything could be useful in this case.
