title: TypeScript 1.8 for Visual Studio 2017
body: <p>I have a project created in Visual Studio 2015 which using TypeScript 1.8. After installing Visual Studio 2017, I tried to open the old project in the new IDE.
  If I check properties of the project, I get this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>TypeScript version: 1.8 (unavailable).</p>
  </blockquote>

  <p>However, I can see that this version is already under <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.8</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to use a newer version because I don't want to change the code right now.</p>
  
  <p>Does Visual Studio 2017 support TypeScript 1.8?</p>
  
  <p>How can I make this version available to VS 2017?</p>
