One of the case could be that you might be using the DEBUG code. 1] Remove it or 2] If you don't want to remove #if DEBUG, then you need to re-build the solution in "Release" mode and use the .exe from "Release" folder instead from "Debug" folder.

What bugs? 404 simple means file not found. Check the path that you are trying to access. Your configuration needs a look. Once the file is present at the accessed path, you will not get this 404 error.
