Hello, 

I've got the following questions regarding error messages from the Kodi-Addon-Checker: 
  1. ERROR: .\addon.xml is marked as stand-alone executable
    I imagine this error can be ignored in a Windows OS ? 

  2. ERROR: Invalid xml found
    Well, but how do I find the critical line which cause(s) the error? 

  3. WARN: Found non whitelisted file ending in filename ...\media\Textures.xbt
    What's wrong here?
1. sure, but it makes little sense to mark a text file as an executable ;-)

2. there are standalone xml validation tools available (XMLStarlet), as well as online websites that can do the job (https://www.xmlvalidation.com/)

3. you're not supposed to submit .xbt files to the repo, submit the source images instead
Error 2 might be a schema mismatch. You'll have to post the whole log for us to help

xmlvalidation.com did the job, I used '--' within some comments, something like <!-- Try this -- or that? -->
