Using Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise 2017 Version 15.5.2

I recently had a broken version of this extension such that I could use it but not uninstall or update. I followed #1394 to finally fix it. I uninstalled it manually by deleting folders.

Now I'm trying to install it once again and i finally see the green check icon in VSIX saying it all went successfully. However as soon as i start Visual Studio and even my computer it is not installed or visible there.

VSIX Install log: https://gist.github.com/lindeberg/2a0d57ffa360c11614c55d2709a1de73

This folder does not exist:
C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\2017\ENTERPRISE\COMMON7\IDE\EXTENSIONS\GITHUB\GITHUB\

Get the same issue, this helps
Solution
For history:

Go to the following folder: c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\
Remove the "Component.GitHub.VisualStudio,version=2.2.0.8" folder
Go to the "_Instances[[your-vs-2017-instance-id]]" sub folder (replace the "[[your-vs-2017-instance-id]]" with the instance ID of your Visual Studio installation
Remove the first GitHub entry in the file "state.json". You may need to remove other entries too, but the first one was sufficient for me.

Now, the installer is usable again.

But need also edit state.packages.json + check that saves only in utf-8 (65001), if save in another codepage - you get COM error.
