please clarify which language you are using with Visual Studio. As @berak notes, OpenCV does not support Visual Basic (although there are unofficial .NET wrapping for OpenCV which you could use to employ OCV in VB).

If you're referring to VC (Visual C++), then you could try using a recent version of cmake and a recent github version of OpenCV to generate VC 2017 projects and solution. But you likely will hit many issues.

Since it sounds like you might be new to OpenCV, it's strongly suggested that you use a well supported platform (e.g. Visual C++ 2015, or perhaps even Python if you want something that's easy to set up and get going with).

please clarify which language you are using with Visual Studio. Studio, e.g. C++, VB, C#, etc.

If you want something that's to avoid C++, then please consider using OpenCV with Python as it is quite easy to set up setup and get going with).is well documented.

Visual Basic As @berak notes, OpenCV does not support Visual Basic (although there are unofficial .NET wrapping for OpenCV which you could use to employ OCV in VB).VB). Due to the nature of .NET, you wouldn't need libraries which were specifically built for Visual Basic .NET 2017, you could use older libraries also.

Visual C++ If you're referring to VC (Visual C++), then you will need c++ libraries (and binaries) built with/for Visual C++ 2017. These are not available officially yet, but you could try using a recent version of cmake and a recent github version of OpenCV opencv from github to generate and build your own VC 2017 projects and solution. But you likely will hit many issues.
