Sorry for the double post (left a question on stackoverflow)

I'm using Microsoft.AspNetCore.NodeServices 1.1.1 in my ASP.Net Core application. Everything has been working fine, but now I'm on a new computer and I get the following error:

System.InvalidOperationException:
Failed to start Node process. To resolve this:.

[1] Ensure that Node.js is installed and can be found in one of the PATH directories.
	Current PATH enviroment variable is: ....
	Make sure the Node executable is in one of those directories, or update your PATH.

[2] See the InnerException for further details of the cause.

I have removed the path variables from this question, but the directory where Node is installed is listed in there (C:\Program Files\nodejs\;).

node -v in a terminal gives me v6.11.0 so it is added to the path.

Nothing in the code has changed since it last worked, only my computer. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
