System.BadImageFormatException using .NET core 2.2.207 SDK x64 to build app for Linux or Windows

[cruxpot]

I am trying to build a ConfuserEx release/2.0 branch build of the netcoreapp2.2 to run on Linux to help us script obfuscation of assemblies with some automation. However, I have tested on Windows as well to make sure it was not platform specific. I applied the command to publish (from another issue):

msbuild Confuser.CLI\Confuser.CLI.csproj -v:m -t:Publish -p:Configuration=Release -p:TargetFramework=netcoreapp2.2 -p:PublishDir="confuser2.0-bin"

I did not receive any errors and received a published folder where expected:

<snip>
  Confuser.CLI -> D:\Dev\ConfuserEx-2.0-dev\Confuser.CLI\bin\x86\Release\netcoreapp2.2\Confuser.CLI.dll
  Confuser.CLI -> D:\Dev\ConfuserEx-2.0-dev\Confuser.CLI\confuser2.0-bin\

Directory structure/contents of published folder is:

With Windows and Linux .NET core SDK 2.2.207 x64 I get this error:

D:\confuser2.0-bin>dotnet Confuser.CLI.dll

Unhandled Exception: System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'D:\confuser2.0-bin\Confuser.CLI.dll'. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

On Linux, I get the exact same error with .NET core 2.2.207 SDK. Not sure what to do since I'm running .NET core 2.2 SDK on both platforms.
