I have just installed Visual Studio 2012 (Premium). Version 11.0.50721
I have created a site, and I would like to publish it. I right click on the project, and select publish. I create a new profile, enter the FTP details. Validate - all good.
Now, the problem. I click on the Settings tab. I have only 1 check box. And the only option I have is to Delete all existing files prior to publish.
Why can't I pre-compile? Why can't I exclude options from the app_data folder (or similar folder)? The following is a screen shot from my machine:

More back story. It's been working fine for many months, if not into the years. VS said it was missing some Razor code or similar so I performed the update. After this update, VS would not open! It would crash. So, I manually removed all these updates from the Control Panel. This fixed the crash but left the issue mentioned above. So, I performed a repair. Issues persists. I then uninstalled VS 2012 and re-installed it. The same issue persists.
