It is because the xaml file name renaming is on. The exe has the startupUri setting with "Windows\MainWindow.xaml". But the MainWindow.xaml or whatever it is, is renamed to something else. Here is my project letting the renaming on except xaml file name. For me it works fine :

<project outputDir="PathToTheOutputDirectory" baseDir="PathToYourExeFile" xmlns="http://confuser.codeplex.com">
  <module path="YourSoftware.exe">
    <rule pattern="true" preset="normal" inherit="false">
      <protection id="rename">
        <argument name="renXaml" value="false" />
      </protection>
    </rule>
  </module>
</project>
