I was unable to reproduce your issue with the latest version of Intel XDK (v.2807) for neither the non-App Designer and App Designer variant of the HTML5 + Cordova template.

Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, answer the following questions as well.

1. What version of Intel XDK are you using?
2. What desktop operating system are you using?

Is this when you are trying to create a project or when you are trying to add a particular plugin?

[Chloe_B_]

Yes, i'm still experiencing this issue.

I use the Intel XDK 2807 version and my operating system is windows 7 family premium edition.

I have the problem with the non-App Designer and the App Designer. I can't open samples projects too because i have the same error.

Best regards, 

Miyu

It's when i create a project. 

1. Choose "HTML5 + Cordova"
2. Click on "Continue" 
3. Enter a simple project name like "test"
4. Click on "Create" 

And the popup with the fail appear. The folder "test" is created on my computer but it doesn't appear in Intel XDK.
You can find in attachment the zip of the folder "test".

Are you trying to create your project on a network drive or on a local drive?

I am having the same problem, look

My system's:
Windows 8.1
Intel (R) core(TM) i3-3217u CPU @ 1.80GHz 1.80 GHz
OS 64 bits, RAM Memory 4,00 GB

Make a note of the plugins that are in your project and then delete the /plugins directory in the root of your project. The XDK might complain when you open the project about missing plugins, and might try to rebuild the /plugins directory. In the worst case, you'll have to re-add the plugins using the plugin manager.

Also make sure you do not have any plugins listed in an intelxdk.config.additions.xml file inside your project directory. You might have to check this with an external code editor (like Notepad++ or Brackets or Sublime) before you attempt to open the project again.

Paul, how can I use this manager plugins? imagine that I am totally a layman, I am creating my first project yet, where can I find a step by step to solve the problem?

Please see the docs > https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/lp-index < a few pages that might help:

• https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/adding-third-party-plugins-to-your-xdk-cordova-app

I can only create Standard HTML5, it is not created the folder plugins automatically, this plugin is giving me a lot of heartache, yet even started my studies so.

Convert your app into an HTML5+Cordova app, or create a new one that is based on a Cordova template or sample app.

The error occurs when creating the document, or is it still generates the files but because of the error can not even open it, anything related to Cordova is created, examples, document conversion, new document and etc, you know? but what bothers me most is the fact that I will have to resort to all this "workaround" every time you start a project rather than solve the problem for good.
