If you are used to working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit in Visual Studio 2015 you will realize quickly that Microsoft didn’t provide a new version for Visual Studio 2017.
Here are step to take Microsoft Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit for Visual Studio 2015 and make it functional for Visual Studio 2017
1.       Download Microsoft Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit from here
2.       Uncompressed the .vsix and open folder
Locate extension.vsixmanifest

<Installation>
    <!--<InstallationTarget Version="[11.0,12.0)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" TargetPlatformVersion="4.0" />-->
    <InstallationTarget Version="[11.0,14.0]" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Premium" />
    <InstallationTarget Version="[11.0,14.0]" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" />
    <InstallationTarget Version="[11.0,14.0]" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Ultimate" />
  </Installation>
2.       Replace the 14 with 15
<Installation>
    <!--<InstallationTarget Version="[11.0,12.0)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" TargetPlatformVersion="4.0" />-->
    <InstallationTarget Version="[11.0,15.0]" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Premium" />
    <InstallationTarget Version="[11.0,15.0]" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" />

  </Installation>
3.       Save File

1.       And change the extension to .vsix




At this point you are ready to install.

Once you are done installing Open Visual Studio navigate to:

        Tools -> Options
Navigate to Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit -> Tool Paths



Do the following Mappings:
1.       Path to the Plug-in Registration Tool (version 8.1 +)
a.       Map it to the folder where your Plugin registration Tool resides
