Express on NPM doesn't start application

Question

Installed latest NPM v0.10.28 Then I installed express by

npm install express -g

Then I installed app as folows

express testExpress
cd testExpress && npm install

Then I ran following command to start server

DEBUG=testExpress ./bin/www

But it gives error

'DEBUG' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
 operable program or batch file.

Also tried

 node DEBUG=testExpress ./bin/www

Still gives error

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\tmp\testExpress\DEBUG=testExpress'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)
    at startup (node.js:119:16)
    at node.js:906:3

What mistake I am doing ? Please help.

You're trying to use Linux environment variable syntax on Windows.

You want

SET DEBUG=testExpress
bin\www
