Installing this plugin without @latest installs an unexpected version 2.0.2

[Barryrowe]

We have been trying to use this plugin for simple steps (that we have used before) for a day now, getting odd results from functions.

We finally realized that the latest version here is 1.5.3, but the version cordova installed was 2.0.2.

If you just run:

```cordova plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage```

you end up with version 2.0.2 of the plugin somehow.

Here is the verbose output from that command:

barry$ cordova plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage --verbose

If we run:

we get the right version of 1.5.3.

Yes, this is because of how we resolved #580 (support VS 2015 and VS 2017 out of the box). See also: #599 (Windows 10 issue), #615 (master vs edge question)

I hope to fix this soon. For now this is only an issue in case of Windows 10 on VS 2015 or VS 2017.

@brodybits this does not affect Android (4.4+) and iOS (8+), right? I have a build with 2.0.2 from 1.4.5 which I will have to revoke if it is going to break

Correct, more details in: #615 (comment)

This will be fixed soon. Moving further discussion to #615.
