I’ve been working with node.js v0.6.3, locally installed on Windows Vista at C:\Program Files\Nodejs. I recently upgraded to (by running the installer for) v0.6.6. It seemed like it worked for a while, but now if I try to run node from any directory I get a

‘node’ is not recognized as an internal or external command

message, though running node from C:\Program Files\Nodejs does work.

I tried rebooting, removing node, reinstalling, reinstalling 0.6.3 – nothing seems to work. I just don’t get why node fails to recognize system path, though node works from its base dir?

    PATH=%NODEJS%;...
