Bit of a weird one this. Disable Visual Assist (Tools | Extensions and Updates) then go to Package Manager console and type:

echo $Env:VCINSTALLDIR

It shows no value whether a project is loaded or not.

Enable Visual Assist then load a project and try the command again and you get:

c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio\2017\professional\common7\ide\vc\

On my system.

Now, on the face of it this isn't an issue but it's messing up Clang compilation due to it using the value of VCINSTALLDIR to determine the location of cl.exe when using /fallback mode.

I think the Clang code can be improved to handle this case better (will submit a pull request at some point) but wondering why this environment variable is seemingly being set by this plugin.

The setting of VCINSTALLDIR appears to be a result of a fix related to NuGet repositoryPath (case=105958) in build 2231.

If the problem is critical, revert to build 2223 while we investigate further.

case=112001 was opened for this regression.
case=112001 is fixed in build 2248.
