There was an issue with Visual Studio which is solved by not embedding the default manifest - one of the comments on that article suggests the problem still exists in Visual Studio 2010. In project properties -> Application tab -> Resources -> checkbox Icon and manifest the setting Embed manifest with default settings caused the problem. Setting it to Create application without a manifest fixes the problem.
