Strange exceptions when attempting to run referenced .NET Framework MySql Connector code from ASP.NET Core app

I have a solution with two projects. One targets .net framework 7, and contains a class that handles all the communication with a mysql database using the MySql.Data 8.0.17 driver/nugget. The other project targets .net core mvc 3 and references the latter project. Upon instantiating the db class from within the asp core project, and attempting to run a query from a call MySqlHelper.ExecuteNonQuery, I am receiving the following exception:

System.TypeInitializationException
  HResult=0x80131534
  Message=The type initializer for 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.Replication.ReplicationManager' threw an exception.
  Source=MySql.Data
  StackTrace:

   at MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlHelper.ExecuteReader(String connectionString, String commandText)
   ...
Inner Exception 1:
FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager, Version=4.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'. The system cannot find the file specified.

Although I am not sure what that exception means, after some googling, I added the ConfigurationManager nugget which seemed to have resolved the issue, but now receive this exception:

Googling this exception suggested installing some sort of Windows Management Framework, but none of the downloadables are for Windows 10. At this point I am not sure what to do.

What/why is this happening? How do I fix it?
