Per [~gmathews] {quote}

   appc new -t timodule -n winModule --id com.win.module
   cd winModule\windows
   appc run -p windows -T ws-local --wp-sdk 10.0 -l trace
   
   ERROR  | An uncaught exception was thrown!
   ENOENT, no such file or directory 'C:\Users\gmathews\projects\winModule\windows\tiapp.xml'

It should be looking for `timodule.xml`, although I this is a separate issue related to the CLI. {quote}

I just tested this on 5.4.0.v20160502140437, it seems to work? Although I did add --build-only since it is a module.

   appc new -t timodule -n module --id com.win.module --no-services
   cd module\windows
   appc ti build -p windows --build-only

Confirmed this does work for now. You can use appc ti build -p windows to build module for Windows.

Removing fixVersion and closing.
