On an already installed Visual Studio Community 2017 (version 15.9.5), I am trying to add Github extension. While running the GitHub.VisualStudio.vsix installer, I am getting the above error. I have crosschecked my version from the Install logs, but unlike other questions on this topic, version doesn't seem to be the problem. [Versions supported are [14.0,17.0) and [15.0,17.0) for Community and IntegratedShell respectively]
I have already tried to edit the extension.vsixmanifest file, to add to the "Supported Products" section, but the changes did not reflect.
The first time that I downloaded the installer it didn't show this error, instead asked me to close all VS instances. For some reason, I couldn't afford to install it then and relaunched it later. After that, this error has been persistent. So,I tried deleting and downloading it again many times and tried to run it with both VS open and closed. My Install Log file looks like this :

Not sure if it results from extensions.configurationchanged file. You can try if devenv /updateconfiguration command and reinstall the .vsix can fix it.
Steps to reproduce:
I install the same extension and abort it before the installation succeeds. In this situation actually the .vsix is not successfully installed yet.But I can't reinstall it since the installer seems to not work to find my vs any more.
(In my opinion,the installer thinks the extension has been installed but actually it not)
Workaround:
Open your Developer Command Prompt for VS2017, and type command devenv /updateconfiguration, wait several seconds(maybe longer) until its execution finishes.
After that go C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions, delete the GitHub folder (Which contains content of GitHub extension), and then rerun your xxx.vsix to check if it finds your VS2017 product. Hope it helps.
