I would point at something that we at least know to be decent (the most recent version inserted into the RC branch or something)?

@Pilchie Are you signing up for updating every time we insert a new one? :)

Add a warning that this will also cause them to lose any other installed extensions.

Step 1 needs to be close all VS instances.

You could have them just delete the "Extensions" folder instead.

| NOTE: You can also use a [Visual Studio "15" Preview](https://www.visualstudio.com/news/releasenotes/vs15-relnotes). The publicly available version of Visual Studio "15" Preview 4 is a work in progress, and as such, does not fully support developing against the Roslyn solution. If you use Preview 4 with the Roslyn solution, you will see issues that prevent the setup project from building and stop the setup VSIX from getting deployed to the RoslynDev hive even when the build does succeed. As such, we recommend remaining on Visual Studio "15" Preview 3 if you are developing against the Roslyn solution. |

I don't think this section is correct either now?

Since we're going to ask them to muck around in %LocalAppData% anyway, should we get them to clean up the compiler targets files too?

Is this RoslynDeployment.vsix, or RoslynDeployment.Full.vsix? The difference is the diagnostics toolwindow package, which I don't think customers care about.
