I run the command specified - I get this:

[Warning] Instances may not be created or modified using this tool while ADS is running. Either make the changes via ADS itself or stop ADS before making changes.
[Warning] You can do this by running 'ampinstmgr stop AMPMgtInstance'

I run this command to stop service and then run other command again.

Get prompted for Key - enter key and then get this:

Thanks.

Tried the steps in the link provided - still get same issue.

Anything else I can try?

Are you still getting the exact same messages? If so (specifically you’re getting MissingMethodException) then you didn’t follow the steps correctly.
