Projects with same nuget package refrencing different version of assembly

This is a known issue when we build a .NET Framework 4.6.x app.

That because:

This is due to the injected support for NETStandard 2.0. We inject new assemblies into NET 4.6.1 and later desktop projects in order to add support for netstandard2.0. We do this in targets now instead of packages because its no longer a requirement to reference a package to build a netstandard library. This injection happens whenever we see a netstandard1.5 or greater library referenced (see dotnet/sdk#1386).

To resolve this issue, we could add binding redirect to those reference to use standard references to System.IO.Compression and not bring in any Nuget package for System.IO.Compression. If you still want to use the reference System.IO.Compression from nuget package, you can delete System.IO.Compression from the MSBuild tooling.

Hope this helps.
