Below is a list of Node JS binaries precompiled for Windows platform using Cygwin. It is self-contained package and have everything you need to start using node on Windows.
My compilation is inspired by great work done by node-js.prcn.co.cc but except the run scripts it is build from scratch (newer npm, newer cygwin libs etc.)
Installation & Usage
To use node on Windows you just need to unpack the distribution, go to bin folder and run shell.cmd.
All versions also contain npm package manager, so you can use node npm command to install or update packages.
Please remember that modules requiring C/C++ compilation will not work.
If after installing package in npm 1.0 you get module error for its dependencies, please install the dependency on its own to fix the problem. No proper solution yet, sorry.
