Visual Studio 2008 - Program exits immediately with F5 (start debugging)

Question

I'm having a strange issue with Visual Studio where if I start debugging it exits immediately. This started happening after changing the assembly name in the project properties. If I change the assembly name back to the previous name then the program runs fine. How can I fix this?

Here is the output when running after changing the assembly name:
