Avoid error when setting up modkit
If you are unable to run BuildResources.bat without errors, try the following:

Download modkit version that matches your Banished game version.
Unpack the zip file into a directory on the C drive.
Copy over ALL your Banished WinData files and their directory.
The directory on the C drive must have a name without blanks or non-alphanumeric characters.
Open command prompt in Administrator mode.
Navigate to your modkit directory on the C drive.
Execute BuildResources.bat from the command line (it will run as admin).
You should get NO errors.
You can also execute BuildExamples.bat next as well.
Close the command prompt window.
IF YOU WANT TO RELOCATE THE MODKIT
Copy or move the C drive directory in its entirety to its new location.
I copied mine to the MyGames directory in the Library folder.
Open this copied directory.
Create a shortcut for Application-x64-profile.exe
Open the properties for that shortcut
Click the "Advanced" button
Check off "Run as Adminiatrator"
This will run the developer version when clicked.
32 BIT DEBUGGING
Download and unpack the zip file as above.
Edit the .bat files in a text editor.
Where the number "64" appears anywhere, replace it with the number "32"
Execute the modified .bat files as above.
When creating the exe shortcut, use Application-x32-profile.exe
This worked for me when nothing else did.
