added note for VS2015
@msebolt Here's an example of how to do the VS2015 vs 2017 thing. I do suggest installing vs2015 so that you can see exactly what the UI text is for whatever you are working on. But the basic instructions should be identical up until the last step where you click on component X. If that's not possible, then OK to just do a generic "install the component" as the last step. Please go ahead and apply this to other PRs as appropriate.
