The node project relatively recently (nodejs/node#5995) added Windows zip distributions, and we can use those instead of using the standalone windows binary and pulling the node_modules from the linux distribution.
This simplifies and makes the resulting node installation structure consistent with what the standard installation is on Windows.
This is backwards compatible because it will cause all existing node installations to be recreated because the directory name changed from e.g. "node-v4.5.0-windows-x64" to "node-v4.5.0-win-x64".
