Description
Symptom:
When trying to f5 run the VisualStudioDebug project it fails to start with something like:

The reason seems to be that it requires newer version of Roslyn assemblies that Visual Studio 17 currently have.
Solution (or workaround) is to build and deploy newest Roslyn first:
- clone
dotnet/roslyn
- In Roslyn directory:
Build.cmd -Restore -Configuration Release -deployExtensions -launch
- Now you can run VisualStudioDebug successfully, double check the versions in experimental instance:

Potential problem is when you have both VS and VS Preview installed. It means two experimental hives with same RoslynDev
name and Roslyn will probably install to the non-preview one. If you then start VisualStudioDebug from preview, it won't work.
As an aside: it seems running Build.cmd -c Release
no longer deploys the extension.
Which means the command line workflow with devenv /rootsuffix RoslynDev
no longer works, this should be reflected in DEVGUIDE.
