I try to run nodejs on a brand new installation of Windows 7. This is what I've done:

  1. Install node using the windows installer

  2. Make sure the files were extracted to C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\

  3. Make sure that my Path enviorment variable contains C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\

  4. open up a command prompt and run node -v

This gives me the 'node is not a recognized ...' - message.

What am I missing here?

Update running echo %path% gives me a directory listing that doesn't include C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\, even though looking at the "environment variables" tab in the system properties displays it under path. Thats odd.

windows node.js path
