Fine, you got me, how do I run node.js on Windows?

I'm assuming you are running IIS7.

    Go download node.exe, and put it in c:\node
    Go download a build of iisnode.
    Unzip iisnode's zip into \inetpub\iisnode
        (that was my idea, not sure if it's the best place)
    From an Administrator Command Line, run install.bat.

The install.bat will:

    unregister existing "iisnode" global module from your installation of IIS if such registration exists
    register iisnode as a native module with your installation of IIS
    install configuration schema for the "iisnode" module
    remove existing "iisnode" section from system.webServer section group in applicationHost.config
    add the "iisnode" section within the system.webServer section group in applicationHost.config
    delete the iisnode web application if it exists
    add a new site iisnode to IIS
