+# nodew
+
+A console-less node.exe
+
+Although this `nodew.exe` is not needed inside a container, this is a
+containerized way to produce one without installing other tools on you host
+machine.
+
+```
+docker build -t nodew .
+docker create nodew
+docker cp $(docker ps -ql):/home/.nvm$/this/nodew.exe nodew.exe
+```
+
+## Patching USERPROFILE
+
+Running the `nvm$ install 8.9.4` command results in an error during extracing
+the MSI package. The reason is that msiexec cannot handle long paths:
+
+```
+C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp>type MSI50547.LOG
+Error 1320. The specified path is too long: C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\.nvm$\.CGe\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\pacote\node_modules\make-fetch-happen\node_modules\https-proxy-agent\node_modules\agent-base\node_modules\es6-promisify\node_modules\es6-promise\lib\es6-promise\promise
+```
+
+That's why I patch USERPROFILE to a shorter path, short enough to extract all files ;-)
