I'm publishing a .Net 6 application for win-x64 with many dependencies, and i notice the publish generates two files: a MyApp.exe and MyApp.dll. From what i understand it's a choice that comes from the multi-platform nature of .Net, but in my scenario i now have two files to deploy and update instead of one.

I've tried self-contained publish, but it bundles also the dependencies and bugfix updates will have to download many MB for just the main exe change.

Is there a way to bundle together only MyApp.exe and MyApp.dll without the dependencies?
