Hi Andrew

On Windows you don't need admin privileges to run node.js applications; you
can basically just download node.exe, and run it passing the path to the
TW5 main .js file. If you do get a chance to explore running TW5 in that
way I think there'd be a lot of interest if you wrote it up for others.

Best wishes

Jeremy
