.NET Core 2.0 support in VS 2017

  Hi,

  I am following the BayesPointMachine example to study Bayesian Regression example in Infer.NET. In VS 2017 I selected the project type as ".NET Core 2.0". When I try to compile the application, an exception is thrown at the first line of Infer.NET code:

  Exception thrown: 'System.TypeInitializationException' in Infer.Compiler.dll
  An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in Infer.Compiler.dll
  The type initializer for 'MicrosoftResearch.Infer.InferenceEngine' threw an exception.

  The usual message of model compilation is not even printed to the console.

  Is Infer.NET supported in .NET Core 2.0 or should I stick with .NET framework (e.g. 4.6)?

  My program looks like this:

              //
              // Challenger O-ring data
              //
  
              double[] temp = { 66, 70, 69, 68, 67, 72, 73, 70, 57, 63, 70, 78, 67, 53, 67, 75, 70, 81, 76, 79, 75, 76, 58 };
              double[] distress = { 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 };
  
              Vector[] xdata = new Vector[temp.Length];
              for (int i = 0; i < temp.Length; i++)
                  xdata[i] = Vector.FromArray(temp[i], 1);    // including bias
  
              //
              // Model variables
              //
  
              
              VariableArray<double> y = Variable.Observed(distress);
  
              Range n = y.Range;
  
              VariableArray<Vector> x = Variable.Observed(xdata, n);
  
              Variable<Vector> w = Variable.Random(new VectorGaussian(Vector.Zero(2), PositiveDefiniteMatrix.Identity(2)));
  
              double noise = 0.1;
  
              y[n] = Variable.GaussianFromMeanAndVariance(Variable.InnerProduct(w, x[n]), noise);
  
              //
              // Training: parameter inference
              //
  
              InferenceEngine engine = new InferenceEngine();
  
              VectorGaussian wPosterior = engine.Infer<VectorGaussian>(w);
              Console.WriteLine("Distribution over w = \n" + wPosterior);
  
              Console.WriteLine("Press any key ...");
              Console.ReadKey();

  If Infer.NET is not supported in .NET Core 2.0, are there any plans to make it compatible?
  

  Thanks
