Cannot run program "ng" error while running build-plugin-package.xml in the plugin-seed project

I run the scripts "tools\generate-plugin.bat" to generate myplugin-service and myplugin-ui, when I run the " build-plugin-package.bat " inside myplugin-ui, it throws exceptions saying "ng" is not found. However I already have latest nodejs and angular cli installed globally,  they are available:

ng -v:

@angular/cli: 1.0.0
node: 6.10.2
os: win32 x64

in my system environemnt variables , they are defined as well

PATH: $PATH;C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\npm

Attaching the error while running "build-plugin-package.bat":

Does "ng build" work on the command line in your plugin UI directory?

@laurentsd Yes the "ng build" is working, and build couple ui files:

The fix for Windows is to replace ng with ng.cmd in build-war.xml, like this:

<!-- normal build -->
<target name="ng-build">
  <exec executable="ng.cmd">
  <arg value="build"/>
  </exec>
</target>

<!-- production build, including the AOT option required to lazy loaded modules -->
<target name="ng-build-prod">
  <exec executable="ng.cmd">
  <arg value="build"/>
  <arg value="--prod"/>
  <arg value="--aot"/>
  </exec>
</target>
