The command line shortcuts should be installed in the Start Menu under the "Visual Studio 2017" entry with the folder icon. My installation has:

  • Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017
  • x64 Native Command Tools Prompt for VS 2017
  • x64_x86 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017
  • x86 Native Command Tools Prompt for VS 2017
  • x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017

You can also DIY it, the old way, by opening a CMD prompt and running either:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"

or

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat"

for x64 and x86 respectively, assuming you've installed VS2017 in the default location.
