cmake-js: vs-build-tools-2017 (vs version 15) is not recognized

In a continuation of #46 - it appears that build tools 2017 is not found ERR! OMG Error: There is no Visual C++ compiler installed. Install Visual C++ Build Toolset or Visual Studio.

From what I can tell, cmake-js looks in in vsDetect in the registry key

"HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Classes\\Installer\\Dependencies\\Microsoft.VS.VisualCppBuildTools_x86_enu,v" + mainVer

Visual Studio 2017 build tools does not have a registry key there, although there are others, that particular one does not exist.

Doesn’t seem to be fixed for me. I have VS2017 installed, and I also have the 2015 build tools installed, cmake-js detects neither. node-gyp works fine though.

Try with:

cmake-js build -a x64 -r electron -v 1.6.0 -c "C:\Users\ehiller\AppData\Local\omega\system\cmake\bin\cmake.exe" -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"
