Officially we currently support version 2015 in V8 only. 2013 won't work anymore because of unsupported C++ features (I think).
Chromium seems to start supporting 2017 as well, but in V8 we have a few legacy scripts that are not up-to-date with Chromium. E.g. v8\gypfiles\vs_toolchain.py is an old version of the respective file in Chromium. A complication is that Chromium doesn't support GYP any longer, so I don't know if the features added to make MSVS 2017 work would be used in V8's legacy GYP workflow at all. CC'ing Bruce in case he has any idea. I suggest you just edit the failing file and hard-code using the MSVS version you have. E.g. hard-code 2017 in v8\gypfiles\vs_toolchain.py. I'd also support a CL that updates those files accordingly to support 2017 properly. What we're really heading towards is dropping those legacy files in V8 and use deps'ed files in v8/build (the ones coming from Chromium). But that'll go hand-in-hand with deprecating the v8-side GYP workflow entirely.
