Answer 1

You must have to download apktoo_2.0.0rc file. then after You can decompile your apk file and will not get arcs file error.

You can download latest file version from Here

Now Rename your "apktool_2.0.0rc4.jar" to "apktool.jar".

Now delete old "apktool.jar" file from your apktool folder.

UPDATE:
__

For Windows users, it's located in:

C:\Users\yourusername\.apkstudio\vendor 

__

Now put this new "apktool.jar" file in your apktool folder where old "apktool.jar" was placed.

now same run your cmd commands like apktool if framework-res.apk

and next

apktool d "your appname.apk without quotes"

and keep smile..
