As i can see from the errors that it is supported for following edition of Visual studio only :

15-Nov-18 10:21:00 PM – Version : [11.0,15.0]
Any idea how to make it work for Enterprise edition?

  I had done this for VS 2017 Professional Edition.
  Can you please try adding one more line for Enterprise Edition while changing the version number like below with opening and closing tag and try?
  
  InstallationTarget Version=”[11.0,15.0]” Id=”Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise”
  
  Thanks,
