Is an .exe file generated when publishing a .net core console app in Linux?

Does the .net console app published on Linux-x64 produce an .exe file like in Windows?
The .exe is windows supported file which is not support in Linux, if you select Linux when publishing the application, it will just generate the dll which you could use dotnet command in Linux to run this dll.
For example:

Where to find dotTrace after installation on Windows 8.1 Pro

I have installed JetBrains dotTrace ( https://www.jetbrains.com/profiler/ ) on Windows 8.1 Pro. Installation has been completed successfully.
Now how to open dotTrace interface? I did search in Start Menu but couldn't find. I searched by "dottrace" and "jetbrains" keyword but no success.
There should be "JetBrains dotTrace 20xx.x" entry in Start Menu. If it doesn't exist, I'd recommend you to reinstall dotTrace or contact dotTrace support team.
But if you still want to open dotTrace manually, you need to run dotTrace64.exe file from %localappdata%\JetBrains\Installations\dotTrace11 folder (for 2017.3 version of dotTrace).

Unable to install VSIX in VS 2012 & Windows 10

I am trying to install RXX(VSIX Isntaller) in windows 10 & VS 2012. But it gives error as below
The extension 'Razor(cshtml) pre-processor requires a version of the .NET framework that is not installed.
It is working properly in Win 7 ( .NET Framework 4.5 ). When I tried to install .NET framework 4.5 in Win 10, its no allowing to do the same.
Can anyone suggest anything for this?
Thanks
I expect the VSIX manifest to reference a specific .NET framework version and doesn't specify a range. Since .NET 4.6 replaces 4.5 it may cause these type of issues.
Extract the VSIX using your favorite extraction tool (it's a zip file), edit the manifest file by removing or updating the dependencies specified and zip it back up.
The only way to install the extension was executing the VSIXInstaller.exe as administrator and passing the VSIX file as parameters. To do that, follow this procedure:
Open a CMD window as Administrator
Go to Common, IDE folder of the VS 2015 installation. In my case:
CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE
Execute the installer passing the VSIX file as parameter. In my case:
VSIXInstaller.exe c:\AppBuilder.vsix
Finally, the installer will start the installation!
I hope it helps you

VS2012 Install Shield project building using TFS build definition

I have a VS2012 sln which includes an install shield installer project.
If I build the solution/projects manually via solution explorer everything builds fine.
However when using the TFS build definitions i get the following error:
C:\Builds\1\<NAME>\<Build_Definition_Name>\Sources\InstallSetup\InstallSetup.isproj (29): The imported project
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\InstallShield\2012SpringLimited\InstallShield.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
Can someone please help with this?
Info:
Using VS 2012
OS - Win 7 x64 Pro
You need to install InstallShield on the machine on which you are running the build.
In-case someone is facing the same issue, I was able to solve it by reading what Flexera mentioned on their website: Link
Brief description: in build definition, process tab, make sure the MSBuild Platform is targeting x86.
I too had 64bit Windows (8.1) running and Team Foundation Server 2013 Express.
