The exception is PathNotExist. Does the C:\apktool\framework-res folder exist?

Yes it does

Are you on the same computer and in the same folder as you were when you decompiled?
Can you decompile again successfully?

The only files in my folder are apktool.jar and aapt.exe. Is java set up properly?
What errors are you getting when you try to decompile again? The same one you posted before?

Alternatively, you could use MrRusch's 2.1 unmodified apart from the SCB framework-res.apk, and just change the images.

Hi and welcome to XDA.
I don't know which apktool you're using but you can try asking your query here [UTIL][Dec 31 2015] Apktool v2.0.3 - a tool for reverse engineering apk files Experts there may be able to help you.
Good luck
