Answer 1

The issue you're seeing looks to be https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-23480. This issue has been fixed in the latest 5.3.1 builds of the SDK. You can install this using appc ti sdk install -b 5_3_X -d.

Also for your reference my JAVA_HOME is set to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_80, after setting this environment variable make sure to restart your command prompt.

Answer 2

Thanks for sharing with us. Please run the following command in the administrative command prompt.

del -rf ~/.appcelerator

del -rf ~/.titanium

npm uninstall -g titanium

npm uninstall -g appcelerator

npm install -g appcelerator

appc use latest

appc setup

appc login
