Bas Bosman resolved CB-5950.
----------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

Try upgrading your Platform Tools.

I'm running a similar setup as you, without any problems, using Platform Tools version 19.0.1. (That versions dx.bat contains your fix.)

Closing as Not a Problem, as it isn't a Cordova specific issue.

> I downloaded and installed the latest nodejs for Windows (0.10.25,) latest JDK (1.7.0_51), latest Android SDK (19), and latest apache-ant (1.9.3) and created a new project as per the quickstart instructions.
> Creating the project and adding the android platform works fine.
> However, "cordova build" fails with an error:
> Generating config.xml from defaults for platform "android"
> Preparing android project
> Compiling app on platform "android" via command "cmd" /c C:\IMVU\example\example\platforms\android\cordova\build

> Running the build file manually prints some more information; the error happens when trying to run "dx" and it claims "C:\Program" is not an internal or external command.
> There are many previous bugs about "doesn't work with spaces in paths," so this seems like a regression. Spaces in paths are a fact of live on Windows, as is to dorky quoting rules for COMMAND.COM, so it would seem that a basic acceptance test that tests everything with the latest of all the dependencies on an otherwise fresh system should catch these things. If Windows is an important host for cordova developers, perhaps that would be a worthwhile investment?
