Description

I just downloaded the binary release for IronPython.3.4.1.
Launching the ipy console application results in the following error:

An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (ipy.deps.json) was not found:
package: 'Microsoft.Scripting.Metadata', version: '1.0.0'
path: 'Microsoft.Scripting.Metadata.dll'

The same problem doesn't occur with IronPython. 2.7.12. the application run just fine.

Please note that I have not installed the SDK for .net core 3.1 but the runtime packages only.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure from the IronPython 3.4.1 binary release with the ipy console application and inspect ipy.deps.json alongside the packaged files. Compare the package contents and runtime behavior with IronPython 2.7.12. Done means the released console application starts successfully without the missing Microsoft.Scripting.Metadata.dll error.
