The windows install for this took the liberty of removing my original nodejs install, removed the binary and batch files from the program files\nodejs directory, even though I opted to install iojs to its own folder. Nodejs shortcuts are removed from start menu, and path variables were removed as well. Go to reinstall nodejs, and that install says a later version is already installed and cancels the install without giving me an option to install anyway.
