Hi, I see - I think the problem is that the project you created in the Developers Console is a *Web application*, but OAuthTokenGenerator.exe assumes you have a *Native application*. If you create a *Native application* as described here <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-dotnet-lib/wiki/How-to-create-OAuth2-client-id-and-secret#1-native-application> and use that application's client ID and client secret, then the generator should work as expected.
As an aside, what's happening right now with your *Web application* is that after you authorize, the OAuth server is redirecting you to your *Web application*'s redirect URL. See the OAuth Web application flow <https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2#webserver> for details.
