It should generate x86 assemblies

Actual behavior

Generates x64 instead

We need to provide better UX around this in the CLI.

If a project is Portable and will run against the active CLI then --runtime should not be permitted.
If a project is Portable with RID-specific assets and those assets are not available for the current RID then we should fail gracefully
If a project is Standalone and not targetting the current RID then we should fail gracefully

Ideally, we would also provide useful guidance e.g. The CLI on your path is a 32-bit CLI and you're trying to run a 64-bit application. Do {instructions} to run this application.

The interactions here are certainly confusing and we need to do more to communicate what is going on.

@piotrpMSFT It’s just like the linked issue. If I work in a machine with Windows 10 x64, the MSI for .NET Core SDK install the 64-bit tools and there’s no way to build the project into 32-bit. This happens at least when I create a ASP.NET Core project using the .NET Framework only and not .NET Core (I’m using a library not available for .NET Core, that’s why).

I tried adding the “win7-x86” runtime but it doesn’t work. It even creates the corresponding folder and put the binaries there put it’s all 64-bit. I also tried setting the architecture on Visual Studio but still builds 64-bit. When I copy the binaries to a x86 VM I get the error about program not compatible with the processor architecture.

I created a virtual machine running Windows 10 x86 and all development tools and the opposite happens there: The project builds only on 32-bit mode no matter what I do.
