Even after installing Productivity Power Tools extension for Visual Studio 2017 I still cannot run tfpt.exe to execute the command suggested on this post:

C:\Development> tfpt unshelve "ShevesetName;UserName" /migrate /source:"$/Project/Source" /target:"$/Project/Target"

Where can I find this program?

The Productivity Power Tools are not the same thing as the TFS Power Tools, so that's why installing it didn't help.

There is no set of TFS 2017 Power Tools. From the TFS 2017 release notes:

Issue: No Power Tools have been released for TFS 2017.

Workaround: We are excited to let you know that most of the previous Power Tools have been integrated into TFS 2017. The Process Template Editor is one that has not been integrated, but we are going to publish a Process Template Editor tool for TFS 2017 to the Visual Studio Gallery shortly after TFS 2017 is available. We will provide the link here as soon as it’s published
