How you converted the web application to windows?
Then is it now a web application or windows application?

There is no such thing as a "web application .exe".

There is also no such thing as converting a web application to a desktop application. It has to be rewritten as a Windows Forms or WPF app to be a desktop application.

You might want to better explain what exactly it is you're trying to do by adding more detail to the description.

Congratulations. You created an .EXE wrapped installer for your web application. All you need now is a web server to install it on.
