Answer 1

At the moment, Microsoft still seems to be making VS2015 Update 2 community edition available. You have to join the "dev essentials" program, but it seems to be free.

I was able to download the installer from here recently.

Update: CUDA 9 RC was made available yesterday at developer.nvidia.com to registered developers, and it has support for VS 2017.

Answer 2

I ran into the same issue using CUDA 9.1 and VS2017 Enterprise.

Already had flags

#if _MSC_VER < 1600 || _MSC_VER > 1911

But it wouldn't stop showing the error.

No idea why, but trying to run it on VS2015 lead to errors about v141 not being installed... so because of some twisted logic I tried to not use v141 where it was installed... and everything worked!!

Leaving this here as it may help someone else in the same situation. (although I really don't understand the why, how, when, who or what of the solution.
