VSIXInstaller.exe should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE> and the target in c:\dev\EmacsKeys\bin\Release\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor.EmacsEmulation.vsix.

wrap up in Visual Studio

select the Emacs in the keyboard mapping drop down in Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard, look for Apply the following additional mapping scheme:

Restart Visual Studio, and it worked for me...
