Hi -- from this:
https://www.mathworks.com/content/dam/mathworks/mathworks-dot-com/support/sysreq/files/SystemRequirements-Release2017a_SupportedCompilers.pdf
it seems that VS2017 should be compatible with Matlab 2017a. I installed VS2017 successfully (I compiled a simple project to verify) but "mex -setup cpp" cannot find it. I know that this is a question that was asked by many people, but I have not found a solution yet.
Below is the output of mex -setup cpp -v. I run Windows 10.

MathWorks has mentioned a bug, which requires a patch. But this seems to fix a problem with the message "NMAKE: fatal error U1052". You have another problem. Nevertheless, the discussion might be useful:
https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/335092-can-i-use-microsoft-visual-studio-2017-with-matlab-r2017a-or-r2016b
Did you select the 64 bit compilers during the installation? This was a frequent problem with installing the SDK 7.1 .
When I examine the output of your mex -setup, I see, that Matlab does not even check for VS 2017. This means, that you need to apply the patch in every case.
