Publish not working for self contained app? (rc2)

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

Create a “Console Application (.NET Core)” from Visual Studio
Add a runtime “win10-x64” as specified in the documentation app-types
run dotnet publish --configuration Release --runtime win10-x64

Final content of the project.json:

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "buildOptions": {
    "emitEntryPoint": true
  },

  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
      "type": "platform",
      "version": "1.0.0-rc2-3002702"
    }
  },

  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "imports": "dnxcore50"
    }
  },
  "runtimes": {
    "win10-x64": { }
  }
}

Expected behavior

The full runtime, dotnet.exe… in the publish folder.

Actual behavior

There is just there the DLL of the main, but no runtime and exe

The only reason not to use win10-x64 was due to an issue with the CLRCompression package. @ianhays was working on that. I believe that is still not fixed in the latest packages so you should avoid using win10 until that is fixed. https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/7436

@xoofx Yes, they are forward compat, so you can use win7-x64 on forward platforms from Win7+ and IIS 7.5+, while win81-x64 would be Win81+ and IIS 8.5+.

@ericstj will probably tell us if the prior advice holds regarding win10-x64, and @blackdwarf might want to change that doc if it makes more sense to make it say either win7-x64 or win81-x64.

I am a little concerned about devs seeing win10-x64 in various spots and thinking, ‘Well … that would be Win10+ and IIS 10+.’ … and start using it for web apps on WS2016/Nano, where perhaps it really should be win81-x64.
