      Currently the code has the following

      // At the moment, windows MSI installer are not handled !
      //} else if (platform == NodeJSInstaller.Platform.WINDOWS){

      A possible solution to automate installation is to use msiexec with following options:

      msiexec TARGETDIR=<install location> /a node-<version>-x86.msi /qn /l* log.txt

      this removes any UAC issues and just unpacks the files to TARGETDIR. also adds logging out to log.txt

          This is more than a year old...but I'm also very interested in this. I have some nodejs projects that build native files (node-gyp modules) which has to run on my windows slave nodes. I know I can manually install the nodejs on the machine....but the auto install saves a lot of effort, especially when trying out different nodejs versions
