 +Note that the '=' on -F parameter was introduced in 2019 for pay tools and we don't know if its on the latest free tools as well (don't have free tools to test). If you get error with "-F=filename" parameter then simply remove the '=' heh.

 When you get error, look at the pboProject console window and also the log directory which is P:\temp\ which contains two logs or at least one, depending did you manage to get through binarize phase. Check these logs and **read** what the error says, if you don't know what the error means, google it as there is very likely possibility that someone has already asked about the error in forums etc. When you get error, look at the pboProject console window and also the log directory which is P:\temp\ which contains two logs or at least one, depending did you manage to get through binarize phase.

 +Note for v2.45: some versions earlier the pause option in console was added, you need to add -P parameter for "no pause" and then pboproject works again in batch mode without pauses. With -P if you get error it will be written to pboproject console... which will be immediately closed leaving you no time to see the error (you have to check logs in p:\temp\ directory). You should use "if errorlevel 1 goto PboError" in your bat file to stop at errors on long batch files.
  
 Most common errors are missing files (wrong paths) or class Land_ stuff. Most common errors are missing files (wrong paths) or class Land_ stuff.
  
 The above .bat also lists starting and ending time, which is nice stats for those larger projects (especially terrains) :) The above .bat also lists starting and ending time, which is nice stats for those larger projects (especially terrains) :)

 +Killing binarize_x64.exe causes pboproject to abort and cleanly return \source\ dir to its original location. I assume same happens if binarize crashes on itself.
