NodeJS Installer wont open on Vista

From the NodeJs website I have downloaded node-v0.12.3-x86.msi to a Windows Vista PC.

It just doesnt install. No error appears. I tried restarting. I even Googled it a million times.

Anyone know how to install NodeJS?

Peace and love to you all.

The file might be blocked because it was downloaded from the Internet. On Windows Vista if you attempt to install a blocked MSI file, the file is not installed and no error is reported. Unblock the file by:

  1. Right click on the file and click Properties.
  2. In the properties dialog click Unblock.
  3. Close the dialog.
  4. Install the file.

If that doesn't work try installing with diagnostic logging from the command line using msiexec:

msiexec /l*v Desktop\Install.log /I Desktop\node-v0.12.3-x86.msi

Note: This assumes you are running the command from your user directory: C:\Users\<your name>.
