Console Application Builds, But Will Not Run

May 21, 2017

While doing some testing recently, I created a new bog standard console application and, on pressing F5, nothing happened.

The project builds fine, but wouldn’t launch the console window.

Why (and how to fix)?

Well, I had installed the Azure Service Bus Client. Other than that, I can’t really say; however, the fix does kind of make sense:

32Bit

Uncheck the “Prefer 32-bit” checkbox, and it all springs back to life!
