Answer 1

First go to that path and see if the file it's looking for is indeed missing.

C:\\Users\\Administrator\\.cordova\\lib\\android\\cordova\\3.5.0\\VERSION

If it is then reinstall cordova using the following commands:

npm uninstall cordova -g
npm cache clean
npm install cordova -g

Then try again and see if you get the same error.

Answer 2

手动删除整个.cordova文件夹，然后运行cordova platform add android在项目文件夹中cordova platform add android后，SyntheCyphers的答案对我有用。

Answer 3

When u create a project in cordova 3.5.0, version file in .cordova is missing. So unable to add android platform. I have copied version file from 3.4.0 and paste it to 3.5.0 with version change as 3.5.0. and with it, my issue is solved.
