You can install the MS Build Tools 2015. DMD will work with that. 
You have two options to do so -- download the installer at the 
link below or run the VS 2017 installer and select it in the 
"Individual Components" tab. I'm on my MacBook now and can't 
recall exactly, but it may be listed as some thing like "Platform 
toolset v140". With both options, you have the added benefit that 
you can choose to use either the 2015 or 2017 build tools when 
compiling C & C++ projects in VS 2017  (and, I assume, Visual D).
