VB closes the console as soon as the program is terminated, i.e. the last statement in Sub Main() was executed. Therefore add a command waiting for a key press

Console.WriteLine('Hola mundo')
Console.ReadKey()

Now the console stays open until the user presses some key. If you want him to press Enter instead, replace Console.ReadKey() by Console.ReadLine().
