Besides, If you want to generate the .exe for the .Net Core to run directly, you can follow below steps:

step 1: remove "type": "platform", from Project.json underframeworks section

step 2: add run time section to your project.json. Note each section is separeted by a comma. Add your runtime. below is just an example for win 10.

"runtimes": {"win10-x64": {}      
     }

step 3: dotnet build -r win10-x64 - or just build

step4: you can notice .exe created under debug/netcore/win10/

Note: All above is for Visual Studio 2015, for the Visual Studio 2017, you just need to add the run time section in the peoject file, then build it with command line:

<PropertyGroup>   <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>  <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.0</TargetFramework><RuntimeIdentifiers>win10-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers> </PropertyGroup>

dotnet build -r win10-x64
