I'm not being able to build a Cordova app in Visual Studio 2013. The build starts but freezes a couple of seconds later.

This last output line from the build process:

Could not find Cordova as a local module. Expecting to find it installed globally.

enter image description here

I've countless times ran the Cordova install command (globally) on node.js and still get the same build error.

I'm not sure how to get around this issue.

Does anyone has an idea what's the problem or what I'm missing ?

I had same problem and i tried bunch of solutions... The problem was salved by change settings in my firewall. I observed that the firewall blocks one of js process(node.exe). When I turn off firewall the VS unfreezes. So I reconfigured it and my problem disappeared. I use win 7 64 bit, and VS 2013 update 4.

You can also try switch on the x64 IIS(if you're using 64bit OS): Cordova Tools for Visual Studio 2013 CTP3 crashes or gets freezed

and/or update the Web Essentials Nightly: http://www.roelvanlisdonk.nl/?p=3989
