title: Web Deploy cannot modify the file 'xxx.exe' on the destination because it is locked by an external process
body: <p>I have created a new ASP.NET Core Web Application (.Net Framework) in Visual Studio. I'm using .NET Framework 4.5.2. I right click on the project and select publish, to publish the project to Azure with Web Deploy. First attempt fails "Missing root element" or something like that. Second attempt succeeds. But every time I try to publish the project to the App Site in Azure after that I get the Error:</p>
  
  <p>Web Deploy cannot modify the file 'xxx.exe' on the destination because it is locked by an external process.</p>
  
  <p>Why is this?</p>
  
  <p>I can't find a solution to this... Is it not possible to publish ASP.NET Core Web Application (.Net Framework) to Azure in the simpliest possible/normal publish ways?</p>
  
  <p>My project.json looks like this:</p>
