How do I build the install of Node.js for Windows?

[blackthirt33n]

I would like build the node.js from the joyant github and install this on my windows 7 computer. 

Where could I find instructions on building the .msi or .exe installer?

Building Node isn’t very hard: assuming you have a reasonably recent version of VisualStudio installed, just clone the source from GitHub and run vcbuild.bat from cmd.exe. If you want an .msi, run vcbuild.bat release msi, and you should get an .msi that’s identical (albeit unsigned, because you don’t have the certificate) to what’s distributed on nodejs.org.
