How to add VS2017 extensions to Host Agent

I'm currently setting continuous integration server in VSTS. I have a VS2017 app with some references to an SDK I had to install in visual studio in order to make it work. When I set up a build in VSTS it fails because it doesn't find the extensions I have installed in the SDKs section.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2195,5): Error MSB3774: Could not find SDK "PDFTron.PDFNetUWPApps, Version=6.5.4.47152".

How can I include them in the Host Agent of the build?

I managed to add a folder library with the SDKs from:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\UAP

that I needed and added this to the csproj file of the app.

<PropertyGroup>
     <SDKReferenceDirectoryRoot>..\SDKs;</SDKReferenceDirectoryRoot>
</PropertyGroup>

Even though the VSTS agent doesn't complain when finding and enumerating the SDKs, It is yielding an error while compilating the Solution.

No, you can’t add/change any software for hosted agent, you can just use the software it has.

For your situation, you can use Hosted VS2017 agent instead, it has VS2017 installed.
