Missing the -iis flag in the argument maybe?

From mine:
<aspNetCore processPath=".\Universal.Server.exe" arguments=".\Universal.Server.dll -iis" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false" stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\log" hostingModel="InProcess" />

< aspNetCore processPath=".\Universal.Server.exe" arguments=“C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal\Universal.Server.dll” forwardWindowsAuthToken=“false” stdoutLogEnabled=“true” stdoutLogFile=".\logs\log" hostingModel=“OutOfProcess” />

< aspNetCore processPath=".\Universal.Server.exe" arguments=“C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal\Universal.Server.dll -iis” forwardWindowsAuthToken=“false” stdoutLogEnabled=“true” stdoutLogFile=".\logs\log" hostingModel=“OutOfProcess” />

In the original post, you didn’t mention that you installed the required ASP.NET Core Hosting Bundle 5.0, mentioned in step 1 here:

IIS - PowerShell Universal

Next you also need to make sure you download the ZIP version of UD, in your last post you mention trying to point processPath in webconfig to ‘C:\Program Files\Universal\Universal.Server.exe’ but the executable should not reside there, rather in the folderstructure attached to your IIS site.

IIS hosting can be tricky, but doesn’t help that the guide videos, docs and forum posts provide somewhat conflicting/missing information. fx you briefly see the arguments part of @adam 's webconfig file in the IIS hosting video, where you can see the --iis parameter on the process arguments, but its not mentioned in the docs above.
