ASP.NET Core IISIntegration.Tools and .NET Framework

Question

In the ASP.NET Core 1.0 I was using:

"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration.Tools": "1.0.0-preview2-final"

To run dotnet publish commands, but in the ASP.NET Core 1.1 I'm starting to get the following error:

Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration.Tools 1.1.0-preview4-final is not compatible with net462 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2). Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration.Tools 1.1.0-preview4-final supports: netcoreapp1.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0)

How can I still use "dotnet-publish-iis" with ASP.NET Core and regular .NET frameworks?

project.json:

  "dependencies": {
    "Dapper": "1.50.2",

}

Answer 1

1) Update all packages to version 1.1.0 (and the corresponding previews for tools)

2) Tools packages should be installed into the tools section of project.json , not dependencies .

Hence, make sure you have added IISIntegration.Tools under tools section of project.json like this-

"tools": {
    ....
      "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration.Tools": "1.1.0-preview4-final",
    ....

3) Remove old project.lock.json and run dotnet restore again.

4) Now you can publish using - dotnet publish

See if this helps.
