Trying to uninstall the latest VSIX, the VSIX Installer crashed with an error about a missing file:
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\PREVIEW\ENTERPRISE\COMMON7\IDE\LICENSE.txt

If I add that file manually, it will uninstall. Seems like the VSIX has a relative path somewhere instead of an absolute one? Not sure why it'd be looking for a file in that directory otherwise.

Just to clarify: which "latest" VSIX do you refer to? The one released on the market place? Or the latest AppVeyor build?

The latest AppVeyor build from this project (VS 2017).

I'm betting this is the issue: https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/VisualRust/blob/master/src/VisualRust/source.extension.release.2017.vsixmanifest#L7

There are some inconsistencies in the .vsixmanifest <License> paths:

source.extension.debug.vsixmanifest: LICENSE.txt
source.extension.release.2015.vsixmanifest: ..\..\LICENSE.txt
source.extension.release.2017.vsixmanifest: ..\..\LICENSE.txt

Eyeballing the existing .vsix es, it looks like LICENSE.txt is the correct path. I'll roll a fix into my PR.
