Hello cbpporter,

Thank you for your feedback! However, it is more about features request rather than fixing existing problems. So, we shouldn't address it right now and create next rc candidate after that.

For vswhere. Thansk for providing that information it is nice to know that something like that exist. I agree that we should launch this binary and then analyze the output in the first place. It looks like the installation path is there:

resolvedInstallationPath: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community

However, what about if you install Visual Studio Installer to the diffrent path. Then launching vswhere will be problematic. Also, I am afraid that after some time M$ could change the path to Program Files.

For 'tab' and autocomplete in Assist++ dialog. As Mirek noticed, we didn't support it in the past. However, after verifying with other IDE's I agree that should normalized the behavior and allow tab to act as enter.

Mine is installed in weird locations and the tool does report the correct paths. First we should check all possible program files. That's why I want to prototype a new detect using vswhere. DirFinder solution no longer works.

Edit: with how iffy VS is, doesn't hurt to have a fallback or two.
