Dear all:
The User's Guide said "Start Visual Studio 2017>Visual Studio Tools>VC>x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017 from the Windows Start menu. " However, I didn't find the corresponding buttons in Visual Studio 2017. Does anyone have experience to deal with the compilation issues?
Thank you for your help.

It sounds as if you try to start the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017 from within Visual Studio 2017. You should instead start it from the start menu - see the attached image.

Hi, Gunnar Andersson:
I found it! Thank you so much for your valuble reply.
However, I encountered a confusion when trying to compile a self-defined model which contains the utility functions. In the users' Guide, the third step is to input
"link /OUT:ext.dll /DLL ext.obj
C:\Program Files\COMSOL\COMSOL54\Multiphysics\data\extmat\win64\csextutils.lib"
into the command line. I found the .dll file has already created after only inputing the first line in the quote above. So I am wondering what is functionality of the file path in the second line. Is it correct if we neglect it? And should I input contents in the quote in one line or two lines?
Thank you so much for your time and help.
