Is CodedUI test supported on Windows Server 2012 - xcode-ui-testing

I have created a CodedUI test for an application that only runs on Windows Server 2012. The test can detect the object controls via DrawHighlight, however it does not recognize any mouse click or keyboard actions.
Has anyone successfully run a CodedUI test on Windows Server 2012 platform? Is CodedUI supported on Windows Server platform?

Does Appveyor support testing on Windows 10 Professional and Home?

I have some users working on Windows 10 Professional and Windows 10 Home. I usually do continuous integration for windows on Appveyor, but I am not so familiar with the details of Windows versions.
I checked the Appveyor website and it says that build images "Visual Studio 2015" and "Visual Studio 2017" support Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10586, and some other Windows 10 SDKs. Now is this what I need to test with to validate Windows 10 Home and Professional? I was not sure if the SDK is the right thing to test against, or if there is some other build image I should use, etc?
Thanks.
AppVeyor currently provides testing on Windows Server only, however you can run builds on your own server/cloud with Bring-Your-Own-Cloud (BYOC) feature: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/byoc/

Crystal for visual studio CRforVS_13_0_1 also called crredist2008_x64

I have an old app that runs on windows server 2008, and it’s moving forward to windows server 2012
The app uses crystal reports for visual studio version CRforVS_13_0_1 also called crredist2008_x64
I haven’t been able to find any documentation, I was wondering if anyone knows if this crystal runtime will run on windows server 2012?

VS 2010 SP1 32-bit Remote Debugging Monitor under Windows 10

I need to work on an out-of-browser Silverlight application, provided as a VS 2010 project.
I am on a Windows 10, 64-bit machine, with a Silverlight 5 installation. I have successfully installed Visual Studio 2010 SP1, 32-bit, on this computer and been running SL out-of-browser projects with it. Now, I want to execute the project in debug mode from VS 2010 (launch from green arrow), but I get a textbox error message saying that the 32-bit version of the Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor (MSVSMON.EXE) cannot be used to debug 64-bit processes or 64-bit dumps.
Since I have installed on my Windows 10 computer several VS versions, including the 2017 one, I tried to "fool" the VS 2010 debugger by copying in the right folder debug correspondents from the 2017 folder, both 32 and 64 bit; but that didn't work.
I have also asked a question on the MSDN VS Forum, in the "Debug" section, but got no answer.
Please note that the build executes OK, that I can install the binary output as an SL application and that it runs perfectly.
My question is: how can I make working the debug mode for my Silverlight application in VS 2010 SP under these circumstances?
I installed VS2010(also installed the SP1 for it) in my windows 10, to create the SL5 app, I install the SL 5 SDK, and then test it like the video:
https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/MSDNSweden/Debugging-Silverlight-4-Out-Of-Browser-applications-in-Visual-Studio-2010
I use the same steps for the Silverlight 5 app in my side, it works well.
Could you debug or run your app before using your VS2010 in your windows 10? Not run the SL 5 app, how about a simple SL 4 app? Please also deactivated the firewall and antivirus in your windows. View the result again.

Deploying to Windows Server 2003

Using visual studio 2013 on a windows 8 machine I created a F# console application. The app runs fine on the dev machine. But when I build a debug release and export it to a windows 2003 server and attempt to run, I continually get the error: not a valid win32 application even though the build configuration is set to "any cpu". Does anyone know how to solve this error? Thanks.
You are probably using .NET Framework 4.5 wich is not compatible with Windows Server 2003.
If you are not using anything from .NET 4.5 you can change on Visual Studio the framework targeted by the application to 4 and then run it on Windows Server 2003.
Also, here is the list of requirements for .NET Framework 4.5

Can MTM 2012 be used to run manual tests on a Windows XP machine?

I know that Visual Studio Test Professional cannot be installed on XP and it uses .NET 4.5, but does anyone know if it is possible to separately install and use the Test Runner component on an XP machine to run manual tests? I've been scouring the MS site and have not been able to find an answer, although I see references to running test agents on XP machines.
You might be able to do so as part of a Lab Environment: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee518930.aspx
You need to install MTM to launch test runner, test runner cannot be separately installed. To install MTM 2012, you need Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate, Visual Studio 2012 Premium, or Test Professional 2012, none of them can be installed on windows XP machine.
"test agent" component which is used to run automated tests on a multi-machine environment and that component is supported on windows xp.
