AppDomain unloading closes application

I have pretty simple code like:

var childDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("child");
childDomain.ExecuteAssembly("WpfApplication1.exe");
AppDomain.Unload(childDomain);

But it closes app at all. I don't have any references to WpfApplication1.exe in parent app. I read this - AppDomain Unload killing Parent AppDomain but it hadn't helped.

So what I'm doing wrong?

The problem was in this line: childDomain.ExecuteAssembly("WpfApplication1.exe");

ExecuteAssembly method runs application on the same thread as caller. So unloading is killing the main thread. The solution is run child app in new STA thread.
