Got it working with this info...But invoke from the web page wouldn't work...
Had to reinstall - IIS, Framework, .NET and delete the inetpub directory
to get it to work as designed... Hope it's not this hard to implement at companies...

All works now thanks

In examples I've seen it should open a status page where you can click on the methods to invoke but instead IE just asks me where I want to save the file (as if I'm downloading a strange unrecongnized file type)...
