Why does the apk export tool installer of Unreal Engine 4 not support visual studio 2017?

In UE4 I can use Visual Studio 2017 to edit code etc. but when I want to export an android game I need to instal a package first, I can find this package and run it however you need visual studio to successfully instal it, For my study I use visual studio enterprise 2017, but this tool does only detect visual studio until the 2016 version, is there a way to make it work with the newer ones to or is there a special file for newer visual studio versions.

(I have the complete installation of visual studio enterprise 2017, including android development).

a build with 4.17.2 for me asks for Visual Studio 2015 to be installed. (2017 is already installed)
