Answer 1

I'm a newbie with the LLVM technology and I'm using a Visual Studio extension, Clang Power Tools. They have a settings page from where you can install LLVM (all versions >= 4.0).

In this way you don't need to configure anything.

Update

Open the extension settings and select the LLVM page from the top. On the LLVM page, you'll see all the supported LLVM versions and at the right of each version the install button. Install any version you need. On the bottom of the page is a dropdown that allows you to select what version to use in case you installed multiple versions.
