Visual Studio 2017 RC

[FeodorFitsner]

After installing VS 2017 RC on top of VS 2015 base image:

1. Install AppVeyor vstest.console logger and MSTestV2 support libraries

2. Replace MSBuild in PATH with MSBuild 15.0

3. Install latest NuGet 3.5

4. Pre-cache .NET Core:

   cd %temp%
   md app1
   cd app1
   dotnet new
   dotnet restore
   dotnet run

5. Install CMake 3.7.1

6. Re-install Git and Git LFS

7. Disable Bonjour Service and IpOverUsbSvc and services:

   Set-Service -Name 'Bonjour Service' -StartupType Disabled
   Set-Service -Name 'IpOverUsbSvc' -StartupType Disabled

8. Apply workaround for NuGet Build Tasks

We really really need this, any updates not this?

Is the image created to include everything the "Visual Studio 2015" image has + Visual Studio 2017 RC with SDK?

[FeodorFitsner]

Well, this is what we were going to do - install VS 2017 RC on top of VS 2015 image. Would that work or you have other suggestions?

[clairernovotny]

One suggestion might be to include the build number in the image name... the version of the RC was updated two days ago, which is later than the one released last Wed. Might be safe to assume there'll be more, so there'll either need to be a way to identify them or something to keep an eye on the updates and roll out new images.

[FeodorFitsner]

I think we'll be maintaining a single Visual Studio 2017 RC image and update VS 2017 in it as soon as new updates appear.

[FeodorFitsner]

We've got a build worker image with Visual Studio 2017 RC installed. Before making it available for everyone we'd like to do some for of "private beta", so please let us know if you want this image to be added under your account (either post your AppVeyor account name here or send to team@).
