Support multiple Visual Studio 2017 Installations
If you install NCrunch to Visual Studio 2017 you cannot selected to which instance the installation should go.
NCrunch picks one, and install. As a Workaround it is possible to do manual Installation with is not that complicated, but needs several steps, which also needs administration rights.
This makes upgrading to newer Version a real pain point. Also it might not be a great first impression for new Users. If they don't find NCrunch after installation.
A Solution might be to switch from MSI to VSIX for VS2017 and following Version.
We’ve found an unconventional but effective way to rope multi-instance support for VS2017 into the NCrunch MSI installer. The installer should now automatically install for up to 3 instances of VS2017. If you’re using more than 3 instances of VS2017, you can still install NCrunch using the manual installation option.
This has been released with v3.16.

VSIX might indeed be an option, it has more capabilities than MSI, according to this post by Microsoft, and it can support side-by-side better: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/breaking-changes-2017
