It will be extremely difficult to install node-v0.4.12 version with Cygwin on your Windows 7, as it's deprecated method.

If your requirements forbid you to install the latest Node on Windows using simple installer , and you have to use very old version you mentioned (node-v0.4.12), probably much easier solution would be to install that version on virtual machine with Linux.
