What do you mean you downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ 2017? Do you mean you downloaded the Visual Studio 2017 installer or do you mean you downloaded the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017?
I ask this because Visual Studio 2017 contains the Visual C++ 2017 compilers and libraries, so it would be the package that would be called Visual C++. However, the Visual C++ Redistributable contains the libraries to run an application built with Visual Studio 2017 on a computer, but this actually has Visual C++ in the name, so you could have gotten confused.
Anyway, if you meant Visual Studio 2017, the file names that you are looking for is one of:
vs_community.exe
vs_professional.exe
vs_enterprise.exe
If you mean the Visual C++ Redistributable, then the file names that you are looking for is one of:
vc_redist.x64.exe
vc_redist.x86.exe
vcredist_x64.exe
vcredist_x86.exe
For the redistributables, they only install for one platform. So if you are on a 64 bit version of Windows, you may need to install both an x64 version of the redistributable and an x86 version.
This is a signature. Any samples given are not meant to have error checking or show best practices. They are meant to just illustrate a point. I may also give inefficient code or introduce some problems to discourage copy/paste coding. This is because the major point of my posts is to aid in the learning process.

Hi friend,
Welcome to the MSDN forum.
Refer to the description, it seems Darran’s reply is helpful and if this issue is solved, we are welcome you mark the helpful reply or share your own solution in here, that will also help other community members. If not, please feel free to let us know.
For Visual C++ development, we have the Visual Studio 2017 installers and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 to support it. Please check this doc: Visual C++ in Visual Studio
If you just lost the installer of it, please try to download it again from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
If you have already installed it, we can go to Control Panel-Programs and Features to find it. BTW, for the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017, there is no standalone IDE of it, which like the Visual Studio 2017 IDE.
Best regards,
Sara
