We have used Node-RED in a large number of applications and have installed it in several operating systems and devices, since it is the tool for connecting applications par excellence.
This time we will install Node-RED on a Windows 7 Ultimate operating system, in a few steps, I assume that this method should work on more up-to-date Windows operating systems in the case of Windows 8 and Windows 10.
Download NodeJS
Node-RED requires the installation of NodeJS, available at the following link:
Oficial Website: nodejs.org
We will search according to the version for our 32-bit or 64-bit Windows operating system.

Conclusions
This option will allow Windows users to create their applications in Node-RED without requiring to use a Raspberry Pi or Linux OS.
This version also allows you to normally add new nodes from the palettes, of course with internet connection.
Pending: Investigate how to start automatically as a service.
