How to debug a ConfuserEx assembly?

Question

I'm using ConfuserEx for obfuscate my application, what I did is:

Drag and drop the exe on the ConfuserEx software
Set the rule as maximum protection (also tried the lowest protection)
Clicked the "Protect".

When I press on the generated exe this simply not run, if instead I doesn't apply the rule of the step 2, the exe will run, how can I debug this? I doesn't get any error.

If I'm not mistaken, Confuser is an open source project. So download the source code, compile and debug it.
Obfuscate a WPF-Project is a bit tricky, since WPF based on reflection and reflection isn't "friendly" to obfuscating.
You can try to customize maximum preset and remove such options as

Resource obfuscating
Rename

So it can work. Don't forget the dlls(if you have any).
