I am trying to launch an application using appium, I am seeing the following error while executing

Not enough info. Although youā€™ve posted what you think is the error, the real error is probably in the log before it, please post it.

For example, I did a quick Google search on your error and found someone with the real error:

info: [debug] executing cmd: D:\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe -s adb server is out of date. killing...

And then your error afterwards:

If this is your issue, then you need to update adb server. Otherwise post the log & Iā€™m sure someone can help. Also, you should post the version of Appium that you are trying to useā€“it really does help to get a quicker resolution.
