‘Could not load file or assembly ‘netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, …’. Reference assemblies should not be loaded for execution

The netstandard.dll you are trying to load is a reference assembly that which cannot be loaded for runtime on .NET Framework as pointed out by others. However if you need to resolve that dependency you will need to runtime version that maps to the framework you are trying to run on.

For .NET Standard support we are including them as part of the msbuild extensions that ship with VS so you will want to get the version of netstandard.dll from there. Depending on which version of VS2017 you have installed it should be somewhere like C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions\net461\lib\netstandard.dll or from the .NET Core 2.0 SDK you can find it C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.0.0\Microsoft\Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions\net461\lib\netstandard.dll

Try using one of those versions in your scenario.
