In addition to the .NET Core Runtime, you will need to install the ASP.NET Core Runtime Store on the target machine (in this case pc B). The Runtime Store is automatically installed via the Windows Server Hosting installer (see https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core#/runtime for the most up to date download link). The reason this works on the developer machine (in this case pc A) is because the Runtime Store is installed via the .NET Core SDK.

Like John indicated, you built your application using the asp.net store, which is on by default, so in order to run it, wherever you deploy it, you need the asp.net runtime store installed as well. Alternatively, you can turn off using the store when building your app by setting <PublishWithAspNetCoreTargetManifest>false<PublishWithAspNetCoreTargetManifest>. Note that if you set this, you will have to re-publish your app.
