While adding browser platform getting below copy errors:

cp: dest file no such file or directory: D:\Projects\Mobilefirst\HelloCordova\Hello\platforms\browse
r\platform_www\plugins\cordova-plugin-mfp\worklight\analytics

cp: copyFileSync: could not write to dest file (code=ENOENT): D:\Projects\Mobilefirst\HelloCordova\He
