Thanks, @moozzyk. I came back to Core after 8-10 months. It seems I need to go to release notes and docs etc.

It works just fine for net451 and net452
Microsoft.NetCore.App is specific to netcoreapp1.0:

  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "dependencies": {
        "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
          "version": "1.0.0-*",
          "type": "platform"
        }
      },
      "imports": [
        "portable-net45+wp80+win8+wpa81+dnxcore50",
        "portable-net451+win8"
      ]
    },
    "net46": {}
  },

If I did not separate Microsoft.NETCore.App - the error I get does not tell me that Microsoft.NETCore.App is causing the problem so the experience is bad.
