Setting up debug environment with readme.md incompleteness #1350

I have couple of question regarding setting up build and debug environment, while reading Readme.md

  1. When working with the source inside Visual Studio, it is recommended you use the latest available version.
    Does this mean latest stable or latest preview version?

  2. Reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizardInterface is hard coded to Enterprise edition of Visual Studio.

<ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizardInterface">
      <HintPath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizardInterface.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
  </ItemGroup>

This will not work for community edition of VS (or anu othrer non enterprise edition)

Once I change this reference to Community path C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizardInterface.dll I am able to build the solution.

  1. Open the Microsoft.Templating.sln solution in the application you will use to attach your debugger.
    I can't find file Microsoft.Templating.sln. Is it maybe Microsoft.TemplateEngine.sln ?
    And what does exactly mean this part in the application you will use? What application is this text referring to?
