Hey everyone! 
I put together a Windows batch installer that simplifies setting up n8n through an interactive wizard instead of manual npm commands. Thought it might be useful for others, especially those less comfortable with command-line installation.
What It Does
Guides you through installation with:
Automatic prerequisite checks (Node.js & npm)
Choice between global or folder-specific installation
Network configuration (host/IP and port)
Creates start scripts with your settings
Generates documentation in your install folder
Why It Exists
The official npm installation works perfectly, but I wanted something more beginner-friendly with guided steps and automatic configuration. Useful if you’re:
New to Node.js/npm installations
Want to run multiple isolated instances
Prefer a portable folder installation
Need network configuration from the start
Recent Update (v0.1.1): Fixed an issue where data folders could nest incorrectly due to how n8n handles paths.
Quick Example
Download n8n-Installer.bat, run it, follow the prompts. That’s it. It handles the rest - PATH configuration, data directory setup, and creates a ready-to-use start script.
The full details, FAQ, and download are on GitHub: GitHub - web3Leander/n8n-windows-community-installer: Community-created installation wizard for n8n on Windows
