Describe the bug
After uninstalled Xenko by Windows application uninstaller, I get an error message in Visual Studio.

To Reproduce
Install Xenko, uninstall Xenko.

Expected behavior
Xenko should completely removed from the system. Including the VS extension.

A screenshot of the error log of a Non-Xenko project. (Unf. in german. I've to check how to set this in english. In my opinion the erros should depend on the IDE setting which is in english. Whatever... I have to check this out.)

Likely the fix would be around https://github.com/xenko3d/xenko/blob/releases/3.0.0.5/sources/launcher/Xenko.Launcher/Launcher.cs#L222
Right now it only tries to uninstall MainPackageIds (which is only Xenko), but it doesn't do anything for Xenko.VisualStudio.Package.
UninstallPackage on Xenko.VisualStudio.Package should properly uninstall VSIX plugin, but it would be good to double check this actually happens.

One solution, remove it manually:
Go to Tools > Extensions and Updates and uninstall the Xenko Package. Close VS completely and wait for a uninstall dialog and follow the instructions.

I'll give this a go.

@daveNewcastle Have you stopped working on that?
