There's also another way which I prefer (if you have fast internet connection).

You don't have to download or install anything on remote desktop connection.

1. You can share your disk C: while connecting via Remote Desktop Connection.

2. On the remote desktop go to location (depending on your local location)

   \\tsclient\C\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x64
   

3. (optional) Create shortcut to folder or msvsmon.exe on desktop

4. Run it remotely from your local disk via shared disk. (start can take few seconds depending on your connection quality)

Option2: Copy Remote Debugger\x64 or x86 folder to the remote location and use it.
