When running from something like 'execute-assembly', Environment.Exit can be problematic.

In my code I had something like the following in place: https://www.mdsec.co.uk/2020/08/massaging-your-clr-preventing-environment-exit-in-in-process-net-assemblies/
But you can imagine that when Environment.Exit is used to break an infinite loop, this will get interesting 😄 In this case the monitor action became an infinite loop until negative time remaining gave exceptions.

There are some more uses of Environment.Exit() but they seem less problematic (need to be careful with correct parameters though).

Instead of putting the try/catch around the single function call, would it not be cleaner to have a higher level try block in Main for ArgumentException?

Thanks for the PR an sorry for the delay. Finally had some time to look at this. I've added some comments to the PR. I think throwing an ArgumentException is definitely the right approach but I think it needs to be caught higher up in main. That way the multiple instances of try/catch around the Helpers.StringToByteArray can be removed with just a singe one.
