Find it! Maybe it will help someone...

var exec = require('child_process').execFile;
    var test = function(){
           console.log("test is running");
           exec('huh.exe', function(err, ans)
                {
                    console.log(err)
                console.log(ans.toString());
                });  
    }
test();
