The DevBox system only installs pre-release versions of VS. So we need to pass the
-prereleaseswitch tovswhere.exein order to find the installations.Currently the
MSBuildLocatordoes not include this switch. This is for a good reason in that we want to use stablereleases when possible for our CI builds. However in certain environments like DevBox we DO want to use pre release.
So as part of the process if we don't detect a stable release first, we should fallback to a prerelease verison.
