Microsoft Graph version 5.60 is throwing error: "Could not load file or assembly System.Runtime, Version=5.0.0.0" whereas this DLL is not available in .NET Framework 4.7.2

Describe the bug

var scopes = new[] { "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default" };
                   authProvider = new GraphAuthenticationProvider(Configuration.ClientID, Configuration.TenantID, Configuration.ClientSecret.SecureStringDecrypt(), scopes);    
                   Graphclient = new GraphServiceClient( authProvider);
public class GraphAuthenticationProvider : IAuthenticationProvider
       {
           private readonly IConfidentialClientApplication _clientApp;
           private readonly string[] _scopes;
           public GraphAuthenticationProvider(string clientId, string tenantId, string clientSecret, string[] scopes)
           {
               _clientApp = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder.Create(clientId)
                   .WithTenantId(tenantId)
                   .WithClientSecret(clientSecret)
                   .Build();
               _scopes = scopes;
           }
           public async System.Threading.Tasks.Task AuthenticateRequestAsync(RequestInformation request, Dictionary<string, object> additionalAuthenticationContext = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
           {
                await _clientApp.AcquireTokenForClient(_scopes).ExecuteAsync();
           }

I have written this code to authenticate Microsoft Graph with Version 5.60 but it is throwing error "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies." even though we are using .Net Framework 4.7.2 and this DLL is not present there.

This is not a problem with Visual Studio 2019 and working fine there but when I am installing my application, it is throwing error.
Also everything is working fine with Microsoft Graph dotnet v3.x but with v5.x, the GraphServiceClient is going null and throwing the error mentioned above.

Expected behavior

The Microsoft Graph should authenticate without throwing any error

How to reproduce

Run the above mentioned code with Microsoft Graph version 5.60 on the .Net Framework 4.7.2

SDK Version

5.60

Latest version known to work for scenario above?

Thanks for raising this @shambhaviQuest.

Any chance you can confim if you are able to reproduce this with the latest version of the sdk 5.62.0? Are you by any chance also able share a sample project that reproduces this scenario as well?

One thing you could also try is deleting the bin/obj folders and trying to rebuild.
