Problems in setting up Visual Studio 2012 for Remote Debugging - winforms

I have problems in setting up Visual Studio 2012 for Remote Debugging. In the first place, I don’t see the option, in the Properties page of my project Debug->Start Options, “Target device” as in this page stated:
http://hsballina.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/remote-debugging-in-visual-studio-2012-on-windows-8/
Actually, the options are different from my project:
Why is that? is it because my project is for “Windows Forms Application” and not targeted to Windows 8?
Thank you,

WinForms project does not support deploying on remote machines, which means that you cannot setup F5 experience out-of-box for this kind of projects.
To debug your application on remote machine - you can do
build and deploy your app (copy manually)
launch Remote Debugger on remote machine
launch app on remote machine
in VS launch Attach To Process diaglod (Debug -> Attach to process).
choose remote machine in Qualifier field.
choose your process in list of processes and click Attach.

UiPath selectors not working in Microsoft Remote Desktop app

I'm trying to build a robot which is run on my local system but acts upon the Remote Desktop through UiPath's Native RDP support. I've installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop Apps extension on my local system, and the Remote Runtime in my desitnation remote machine.
When I had used the Remote Desktop Connection application to connect to the remote and machine and work with Uipath, every selector worked with just minor modifications.
Now I've had to switch over to use Microsoft Remote Desktop app to connect to Remote machine and use the same. However, Uipath is not able to recognize any sort of selector inside the remote machine now.
What could be the reason for this? It works perfectly fine with Windows' built in Remote Desktop Connection, but not with Microsoft Remote Desktop. Any solution can be worked around for this?

Unable to uninstall SQL Server 2017 from an inherited work PC

I've got an inherited work PC that has SQL Server 2017 installed locally. The company is no longer on that version so I want to remove it, however, when I go to add/remove programs and try to uninstall it I get a popup that says:
This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default app settings page.
Anyone have any thoughts as to what the default app for uninstalling SQL Server should be? Or what file type it's referring to? I've never seen add/remove programs pop this message up before. The machine is Windows 10.
EDIT: I should note I am the admin of this machine.

Fetch source code from linux to windows

I have two solaris servers.
One server is for clearcase licenses and another is for source code repository.
Unfortunately, somehow licensing server is not working with telnet (its running in single user mode).
As a result, I cannot open ClearCase Explorer as the licensing server is not working.
Now, I wanted to get the sourcecode from the repository server to my local (windows) system.
How can we get that?

Error configuring the RAD WAS Portal runtime for a new server instance

I have installed IBM Rational Application Developer version 9.1 from the installation media. The media launches and installs the IBM Installation manager and I've selected the RAD 9.1 package for install. Among the options, I've requested that the "WebSphere Application Server v8.5" be installed, as well as the "WebSphere Portal Server v8.5" and all the options underneath.
Once I launch RAD, I go to the server tab (as instructed by the IBM Portal Developer course) and attempt to create a new WebSphere Portal server. The server wizard wants to know where the installation directory of the server runtimes are located for both WAS 8.5 and Portal 8.5.
For WAS this is simple, I point to the profile "AppSrv01" at the following location:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\base_v85_stub\profiles\AppSrv01
For the Portal Server, I assume there would be a default profile created, but there is not. There are several directories inside the stub directory, but no profiles. The best I can do is provide the following location:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\portal_v85_stub
Seems straightforward right? It complains of the following problem:
The Portal Server installation directory is not correct
Am I missing something here? Are there fix packs I need? Is the portal server runtime included with RAD 9.1 not enough to create and use a local portal server? DO I need to simply create a profile and if so where is the tool needed to do so? (I really really wish someone from IBM would explain this to me and how I am supposed to be indicated to the correct course of action)
IBM is, as usual, being very straightforward and easy to use/understand. Does anyone have any ideas about how I am supposed to proceed? The IBM Developer course that was bought and paid for assumes this step already and before you suggest it, yes I've already sent and am awaiting a response from the organization I am taking the course from.
Not sure I'm getting your description right. From what I can see, you installed RAD using IM from a media. Also, you selected WebSphere Application Server development tools and all underneath it as well as WebSphere Portal development tools.
These development tools options are stubs only, not the actual servers. With this I mean that they're useful for development and compiling purposes only, but not for deployment and testing because they are not the actual servers.
Here is the part that I don't understand. In the media that has IM and RAD, does it also have WebSphere Application Server and Portal Server available for installation? If not, then you need to get them and install them and then your can create the servers pointing to the install location of both servers in RAD. Once you do this, you can use RAD to create the profiles.
Hope this helps.
A few things, Install portal by itself and DO NOT install to a C:\Program Files make it something short like c:\IBM\WebSphere
it sounds like only portal stub got installed, did you have the portal media available as well.
If you install it using the same installation manager, RAD will be able to find it

ASP MVC application's databases not visible in Management Studio

I deployed a simple ASP.net MVC application on IIS (7.5 under win 2k8 R2 64 bit), and it created its databases (ApplicationData and the second one with my own data) when I started using the app.
The databases (.mdf and .ldf files) were created inside App_Data folder.
Application uses entity framework code first approach. I had to change the app pool's identity to Network Service to get the webpage working. I also had to manually create this App_Data directory and assign permissions for Network Service user to modify it's contents.
Now the problem I got is that I can't see those databases in Management Studio (got SQL server 2012 express with advanced services installed). I can attach them manually if not using the webpage for a longer time, otherwise the .mdf files are locked by sqlservr.exe process of Network Service user.
All the time I got two simultaneously running sqlservr processes. One is run by MSSQLsomething user and the second one by Network Service. However, I got only one instance of SQL server installed (I'm 100% sure of it).
Could anyone explain me how is that possible that Management Studio cannot see those databases even at the moment they're being used (locked by sqlservr.exe process)?
This is because the database is hosted in User Instance Mode, and therefore not actually attached to the 'official' database server.
In that article you'll see that this is enabled using User Instance=true; in the connection string. To switch it off you specify User Instance=false;.
