Answer 1

I had the same problem. The only thing I had to do is changing the Target Framework in the Project properties.

Changing the framework version

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

In VS2017RC - All I had to do was install .NetCore again using Package Manager Console:

Install-Package Microsoft.NETCore.App

Later migration script worked and "dotnet exec needs a managed .dll or .exe extension." error went away.
