Hi maliming,
ASP.NET Zero Core MVC JQuery version is 7.0.0. If I run the application in Visual Studio 2017 it runs fine. If I publish it to a virtual directory, the errors in my first post are generated. As a test, I created a website in my computer and deployed the application to it, and it worked fine. But, as a requirement, I need to deploy the application to a virtual directory in a web server.
I read the comments from the link you posted, but they are related to an Angular project deployed to Azure app service, so the issues are different.
Thanks.
