More than 96 assemblies of .Net Standard 2 are copied to the bin folder of Console (.Net framework) Application

Viewed 747

in vs 2017.3 preview 3, I created a solution with three projects: Netstandard2 library (.Net Standard v2.0 preview), Console applicationA (.Net framework) and Console applicationB (.Net core)

Both console applications reference the Netstandard2 library.

When I build the solution I find all assemblies (96 dll file) of the Netstandard2 are copied to the bin folder of the Console applicationA, while for Console applicationB (.Net core) are not copied.

Is this a normal to get all these 96 dll copied to the bin folder?

What I need to deploy the Console applicationA that depend on the Netstandard class libray to a new brand machine (windows 7 x86)? Do I need to install both .net 4.6.1 + dotnet-sdk2?
