Visual Studio 2012 - can't run example application

Question

I have successfully installed and built my example project - I chose the C++ blank project.

Without adding any line of code, I build the project and ran it. It builds successfully when when it comes to runtime, all I get is an empty screen followed by a crash.

Here is where the debugger ends :

void ::BlankExample::App::InitializeComponent()
{
#if defined _DEBUG && !defined DISABLE_XAML_GENERATED_BREAK_ON_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION
    UnhandledException += ref new Windows::UI::Xaml::UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(
        [](::Platform::Object^ sender, ::Windows::UI::Xaml::UnhandledExceptionEventArgs^ e)
        {
            (void)sender; // Unused parameter
            if (IsDebuggerPresent())
            {
                ::Platform::String^ errorMessage = e->Message;
                __debugbreak();
            }
        });
#endif
}

and here is what I get onscreen :

Well, I can't post any image. Anyway, my screen is a nice white crossed box in a full grey background.
