Fresh install of NativeScript CLI using the Installer fails due to missing SDK (but claims it is OK)

[NickIliev]

Using the installer on an absolutely fresh machine with newly installed Windows 10 is failing due to missing SDK. The installer is setting an ANDROID_HOME variable and also is bringing some files in C:\Users\niliev\AppData\Local\Android\sdk but in the same time the SDK is not installed and NativeScript CLI is failing to start.

Steps to reproduce:

• fresh install of Windows 10 with Java JDK installed and JAVA_HOME set. (but no Android SDK installed0
• using the installer to install Nodejs, Android SDK, and NativeScript.
• all is installed according to the installer (very fast install...) but at the end, the Android SDK is missing on the PC. (some files are located in C:\Users\niliev\AppData\Local\Android\sdk but still the CLI is not working due to missing SDK)

Same here, Java installed, Android not installed.
When run the installer it creates ANDROID_HOME variable and then it thinks Android is available, but it is not.

I was not able to reproduce the issue both on a Windows 10 machine with nothing installed and on a Windows 10 with some application (not including the {N} prerequisites). I have downloaded the installer from the web site and also used the one available locally in OfficialReleases. I have performed 4-5 successful installations with this workflow:

1. Download CLI Setup Installer
2. Download and install jdk-8u131-windows-x64
3. Set JAVA_HOME manually
4. Start the CLI Setup Installer

It would be nice if you could send us logs from the failed installations (available under %temp% named NativeScript_CLI_Setup*). We have received error metrics from the failed installation of @dtopuzov but they are not very descriptive and also are showing Windows 8.1 as OS.

@nikolavn I've followed the exact same steps. (using jdk-8u131-windows-x64.exe and setting JAVA_HOME before running the installer)

Here are the logs created by the installed on that day
