First of all: you don't need to click on app .exe file if you want to host in IIS. Doing this you run it as a standalone application. Instead you should create a IIS Website.

Configuration via code is only one of steps. You need also configure IIS to host your app. Follow this Set up a hosting environment for ASP.NET Core on Windows with IIS, and deploy to it official documentation to setup everything right.

Note: some steps are different for varied ASP.NET Core versions.
