Why will Appcelerator Studio stop compiling Android titanium app on Windows 10

Question

I have a clean install of Appcelerator Studio 4.4.0 on Windows 10, Android SDK build tools 21 & 23, Appcelerator CLI 5.1.0, Titanium CLI 5.0.5, Titanium SDK 5.1.2, Java JDK 1.0.8_66, Node.js 0.12.7, npm 2.11.3. I did install Android Studio with SDK 23 prior to installing Appcelerator Studio.

I'm trying to compile an Android app but the process stops with the following message:

Extracting module resources c:\ProgramData\...\titanium-media.res.zip

This happens no matter if I try to run on a device or the Android emulator. I have re-installed Appcelerator Studio from scratch several times but the problem persists. I have another machine with Ubuntu 14.04 and I compile the same app with no problem at all.

One thing that I have seen in the Dev console is the following message:

["Expected ')'","",1]
["Exception thrown and not caught","https://appc-studio.appcelerator.com/js/prototype.js",601]

What is wrong with this installation?

EDIT: The following is the most suspicious set of messages. The rest seems to be normal:

[TRACE] :  Starting emulator: Nexus_5_API_23_x86

[TRACE] :  Emulator is booted, emitting booted event

[INFO] :   SD card not required, skipping mount check

and then this:

2016-02-03T03:04:15.854Z | TRACE  | titanium exited with exit code 0
2016-02-03T03:04:15.886Z | TRACE  | Sending exit signal to titanium process:  22716

Even though the emulator is running Studio launches a new one, and does not connect to the previous one.

Are you able to get more information when you run it with trace log level? Use the log leven button in the console view to set the level. — Fokke Zandbergen

For fear of stating the obvious, have you added the JDK to your PATH variable? (google "appcelerator jdk path windows" and you will find looooads of posts about that)

The only thing which looks different to my (not win10) set up is the JDK? I have 1.7.0_79. I don't know if this may help?

I know that in the past having JDK7 instead of 6 would cause odd, build-time problems so it might be worth looking at.
