title: Deploy ASP.NET Core on IIS using exe
body: <p>ASP.NET Core seems to package a Kestrel service inside a .exe file.</p>
  
  <p>All the <a href="https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2016/Jun/06/Publishing-and-Running-ASPNET-Core-Applications-with-IIS" rel="nofollow noreferrer">instructions</a> I've looked at for hosting ASP.NET Core apps in IIS seem to reference having an entry point (Main() method) inside a DLL.</p>
  
  <p>How do I stage the .exe file such that IIS recognizes it?</p>
  
  <p>I don't see that part of the publishing process, and I would think that would be a very common step seeing as that is the default output of ASP.NET Core.</p>
