3 issues !!!
Sometimes, it has java.lang.NullPointerException
Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
jdk1.7.0_80 (32 bit)
Studio start. But File > New > Mobile App Project does nothing.
Android Studio working perfectly fine. From Appcelerator, Preferences > Studio > Platforms > Android > Android SDK Home
Point to either Appcelerator SDK folder C:\android-sdk-win or
Android SDK folder C:\Users\test\dev\Android\sdk
None of those work. Which mean, it cannot change SDK folder !!!
Issue 1: The JDK needs to be 32bit whether windows running 32 or 64 bit. Did you set JAVA_HOME? If not, please take a look : JAVA_HOME variable
Issue 2: Run the following command in the administrative command prompt.
npm uninstall -g appcelerator
npm install -g appcelerator
appc setup
appc use latest
Issue 3:
Configuring Studio

I add, build the Cordova Windows App successfully using:
cordova platform add windows
cordova build windows -- --apx=8.1-phone --arch=x86
However, when I tried to run the windows app on the simulator:
cordova emulate windows -- --apx=8.2-phone --arch=x86
It always said:
Found package: C:\project\platforms\windows\AppPackages\CordovaApp.Windows_1.0.0.0_x86_debug_Test\CordovaApp.Windows_1.0.0.0_x86_debug.appx
Found certificate: C:\project\platforms\windows\AppPackages\CordovaApp.Windows_1.0.0.0_x86_debug_Test\CordovaApp.Windows_1.0.0.0_x86_debug.cer
Before installing this app, you need to do the following:
- Install the signing certificate
Administrator credentials are required to continue. Please accept the UAC prompt and provide your administrator password if asked.
There is no promt for me to type the password of Admin after that. There is nothing I can do except "Ctrl-C" to break.
I open the folder:
C:\project\....\CordovaApp.Windows_1.0.0.0_x86_debug.cer
I installed the certificate, and re-do all the above steps. Nothing changes.
Could you help?

Requirements check results for windows:
Windows OS: installed Windows 10
MSBuild Tools: installed 12.0
Visual Studio: installed 14.0

I found that the best way to debug a Windows app using Apache Cordova is to use Visual Studio debugger directly. So, just open Visual Studio, open your Windows Cordova project and run it on the device you need to test (current machine, simulator or device). It will works fine.
As Odonno says it does work a bit more smoothly when you just use Visual Studio however I was able to get it working via ionic CLI by manually installing the certificate. The double click install of the cert reported success but didn't actually install the cert.
Open the management console (or type 'certificate' on windows 10 to
see it pop up)
Naviagate to trusted root certificates
Right click on the folder and click import
Install the cert found in your app/platforms/windows/apppackages/xyz/ folder
Now you can successfully run the app via the ionic cli.
I used one Windows Driver samples from github (Filesys) and tried to build it on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2015.
I have installed both:
WDK8.1 with its SDK
WDK10
But when i try to build a project i see this error message:
An SDK corresponding to WDK version '8.1' was not found. Please install the SDK before building. minispy (Filter\minispy) C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\build\WindowsDriver.common.targets
but SDK of 8.1 is already installed.
Is there any option in Visual studio that i could use to point it to SDK 8.1?
I had the same problem and the solution
is sdk version 10 released after VS 2015 .
You should download and install it manually. I used the following link for downloading sdk :
https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-sdk
Also see this link for help with downloading and installing sdk
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jpwdkblog/archive/2015/08/21/windows-10.aspx
good luck
In this case, you may missed No.3.
Check following points:
Install Visual Studio 2015
Install Visual C++ (Not installed by default)
Install Windows SDK for Windows 10 (Not installed by default)
Install WDK 10 (Download separately)
Upgrade project from WDK 8.1 (for more detail: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt270257%28v=vs.85%29.aspx )
Currently,
Visual Studio 2015 supports WDK 10.
Visual Studio 2013 supports WDK 8.1.
In my environment, Visual Studio 2015 may not support WDK 8.1.
When build in WindowsUserModeDriver8.1 with VS2015, an error was occurred: prop is not found.
WDK 10 supports build drivers for Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 (/ 7?).
(see also: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/hardware/dn914754%28v=vs.85%29.aspx )
To build Windows 8.1 driver, follow below.
Open project properties
Navigate to Configuration Properties > General
Check: Platform Toolset Windows****ModeDriver10.0
Navigate to Configuration Properties > Driver settings
Check: Target OS Version: Windows 8.1
Check: Target Platform: Desktop (Default: Universal)
You are likely targeting the wrong platform toolset. To build a driver for Windows 10, you need to target one of the Windows 10 platform toolset (WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0 or WindowsUserModeDriver10.0). If you want to use SDK 8.1, then you should use the WDK 8.1 platform toolsets (WindowsKernelModeDriver8.1 or WindowsUserModeDriver8.1).
You cannot use the 10.0 toolsets and try to make them point to SDK 8.1 because there were some key changes to how files are laid on disk between the two kits. Using the appropriate toolset should hopefully fix the issue!
Have you followed all the instructions during the installation of VS? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/dn913721.aspx
After correct installation I have handled the problem.
(Optional)
Did you install Windows 10 SDK?

I am trying out a trivial index.html file in the multi-device-hybrid-app in visual studio 2013. I could easily run it on android emulator. However, running on windows platform I ran into the following error.
cordova library for "wp8" already exists. No need to download. Continuing.
Generating config.xml from defaults for platform "wp8"

The interesting thing is that it also creates a new solution in the
C:\temp\projects\BlankCordovaApp1\BlankCordovaApp1\bld\Debug\platforms\wp8
folder and if I open that solution, compile and run it, it just works fine on windows phone 8.1 emulator. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I have set the paths correctly in visual studio 2013 I believe!
Looking into the error message it seems program failed to find any emulators at all for WP8. CPT2.0 used CordovaDeploy.exe to get the list of available WP8 emulators/devices which was buggy. It seems this issue was fixed in latest release of Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova -- CPT3.0. Follow the below steps to install CPT3.0
Uninstall Visual Studio Apache Cordova Multi-Device Hybrid App CPT2.0
Install Visual Update 4 from here
Install CPT 3.0 from here

I've decided to try PhoneGap and installed the Node package for it. (Phonegap 3.3.0)
Android projects work fine. But when I try to build a WP8 (or WP7) App I get this error:
An error occurred while building the wp7 project.ERROR: MSBuild failed
to create .xap when building cordova-wp7 for debugging.
I'm running Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, NodeJS & PhoneGap 3.3.0
A sidenote: WP8 Projects created with the Cordova Project Templates work perfectly fine.
It's the command line version that's giving me trouble.
I faced the same issue...
Perhaps it's an issue of the required files (for compilation) not being at the said path, since I could resolve it by running in the Visual Studio Command Prompt & compile successfully:
I have Visual Studio 2010 with SP1 and Windows sdk 7.1.
I also have VS2012 and Windows kit 8.
when i run Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt and run node-gyp build --msvs_version=2010 it gives me error:
error MSB3411: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe".
If the component is not installed,
either 1) install the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Fr
amework 3.5, or 2) install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
Is it trying to find VCBuild.exe.
I found that vcbuild has been replaced with msbuild.
Is it a valid error ?
I also found that in Windows 7, for .NET 3.5, you just need to turn it on from Control Panel. I have looked at other questions on stackoverflow like here and this.
But issue is that since vcbuild.exe does not exist in system with vs2010 then why does node-gyp is searching for it ? Or am i missing something ?
How do i resolve this error ?
The following has worked for me (as of June 2014), as described in here.
Install free Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows (not VS Express 2013 for Web)
npm install --msvs_version=2013
Otherwise, I have spent a lot of time installing old Microsoft packages and patches, and it wasn't helpful.
Setting up the VS2010 and other applications as listed at node-gyp wiki solved the problems.
On Windows XP/Vista/7, node-gyp requires Python 2.7 and Visual Studio 2010
According to the readme file in Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Compiler Update for the Windows SDK 7.1, to ensure that your system has a supported configuration,
uninstall the following products first (if you want to save tons of time)
and then reinstall them in the order listed: (you can uninstall in any order :P)
Visual Studio 2010
Windows SDK 7.1
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Compiler Update for the Windows SDK 7.1
On x64 environments, the last update in the list fixes errors about missing compilers and
error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found.
The answer to all your question lies here. Struggled a lot to find this. Finally got it working. =)
Just to save you time visiting the link here is what's useful in that link.
INSTRUCTIONS:
You can install with npm:
$ npm install -g node-gyp
You will also need to install:
On Unix:
python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
make A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like GCC
On Windows:
Python (v2.7.3 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
Windows XP/Vista/7: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 (Express version
works well)
For 64-bit builds of node and native modules you will also need the Windows > 7
64-bit SDK
If the install fails,
try uninstalling any C++ 2010 x64&x86 Redistributable that you have
installed first.
If you get errors that the 64-bit compilers are not installed you may
also need the compiler update for the Windows SDK 7.1
Windows 7/8:
Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2012/13 for Windows Desktop (Express
version works well)
If you have multiple Python versions installed,
you can identify which Python version node-gyp uses by setting the
'--python' variable:
$ node-gyp --python /path/to/python2.7
If node-gyp is called by way of npm and you have multiple versions of
Python installed, then you can set npm's 'python' config key to the
appropriate value:
$ npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7
This can be fixed by installing all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated cmd (run as administrator).
