Node command is not working in cmd after installing node on windows?

Clearly there's a command called NODE in

c:\Program Files\Microsoft HPC Pack 2012\Bin\

Either rename that command, or use the nodejs command prompt (click start, type nodejs and you should see the option come up), or rename Node.exe in the node install folder to nodejs.exe, and then use nodejs on the command line
