[Mono-list] Embedding Mono Trouble

I've compiled and linked a small test C++ project with mono to experiment
with embedding and invoking functionality in a c# assembly. I will paste
the full code at the bottom, but what is happened is that when I try
to mono_jit_exec, passing a valid domain and assembly, and the assemblypath
as argv, I get a crash inside mono in mono_stack_mark_pop, where old_top is
null

I am trying to invoke an empty Main function in my test assembly, as I have
read that it is necessary to properly initialize things by calling Main
before you call other functions. Other functions crash in this same
location btw. This is in Windows 10 using MSVC 2015. I have a "MonoTestLib"
also in the 2015 project as a C# console application. Mono can seemingly
find the functions within the assembly
with mono_method_desc_search_in_image calls, but any attempt to invoke them
with mono_runtime_invoke crashes with the above.

Here is the code

//TestClass.cs
using System;

public class TestClass
{
    static public void StaticFunc()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("a TestClass!");
    }
    public void RunTest()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("TestClass!");
    }
    public void Test(int times)
    {
        for (var i = 0; i < times; ++i)
            Console.WriteLine("Test!");
    }

    static int Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Main!");
        return 0;
    }
}
