Bug Report

Problem

After upgrading to v10 when I run cordova prepare android the process fails with
"...\platforms\android\cordova\version"' is not recognized as an internal or external command"

What is expected to happen?

The app should be prepared for android without error

What does actually happen?

the process fails with
"...\platforms\android\cordova\version"' is not recognized as an internal or external command"

Information

Issuing the command in my terminal produces the same error, but as it looks like it's trying to invoke the file if I prepend the line with 'node' then the version is correctly returned and there are no errors.
If I downgrade from v10.x to v9 and compare the folder contents, version.bat has been removed, which was part of apache/cordova-ios#1180 also apache/cordova-ios#1180 (comment)
As a workaround I have copied version.bat from the v9 folder and paste it into the folder after reverting to v10.1.1 - but this shouldn't be necessary.
This is only an issue on Windows, macs seem to respect the shebang #!/usr/bin/env node statement at the top of the plain version file

Is there any other information about your environment you can share?

I just tested this in a windows 10 environment on a simple hello world app, which doesn't reproduce the issue.
