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",
    "log4net": "2.0.5",

    },
    "Production": {
      "buildOptions": {
        "define": [ "RELEASE", "TRACE" ],
        "optimize": true
      }
    }
  }
}

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.
