Phonegap install facebook plugin error - facebookconnect.xml already exist

Question

I am trying to install Facebook Plugin using the Automatic Installation section mentioned here https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-facebook-plugin for phonegap using this command

 phonegap plugin add C:\Softwares\phonegap-facebook-plugin --variable APP_ID="240818432XXXXXX" --variable APP_NAME="MyAPPNAME"

and i get thie serror

[phonegap] adding the plugin: C:\Softwares\phone
[Error: Variable(s) missing: APP_ID, APP_NAME]
[error] Variable(s) missing: APP_ID, APP_NAME

So i saw this question and followed it Cordova Facebook plugin : missing variables APP_ID, APP_NAME

I installed plugman using nodejs and run the command below

plugman -d install --platform android --project C:\Users\Documents\myproject 
--plugin C:\Softwares\phonegap-facebook-plugin --variable APP_ID="240818432XXXXXX" 
--variable APP_NAME="MyAPPNAME"

and i get this error :

Installing "com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect" for android
cordova version check failed ("C:\Users\Documents\myproject\cordova\version")
, continuing anyways.
Install start for "com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect" on android.
Beginning processing of action stack for android project...
Error during processing of action! Attempting to revert...
Failed to install 'com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect':Error: Uh oh!
"C:\Users\Documents\myproject\res\values\facebookconnect.xml" already exists!

I am not sure if i am in the right way on installing facebookplugin for phonegap. I just followed the documentation in phonegap and this is what i get.

I am using windows7 64 bit.

Any guidance will be really appreciated.

Thanks

The project path is wrong. It should point to \myproject\platforms\android. You need to run phonegap build android first to build this.

plugman -d install --platform android --project C:\Users\Documents\myproject
        --plugin C:\Softwares\phonegap-facebook-plugin
        --variable APP_ID="240818432XXXXXX" --variable APP_NAME="MyAPPNAME"
