What happened?

Looks like we're currently statically setting our webserver's configuration to use HttpSys, which is causing issues when people attempt to move to linux from windows. I see here that we do have OS detection in place which is responsible for setting it in the first place, but then that value does not account for different OS platforms at runtime - this value is always used, even when it will never work. Should we have an additional platform detection at runtime to overrule this setting if it has no chance of success?

Reproduction

Start a server on Windows
Move the server to Linux
