Description
The instructions for creating a Windows service ( http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/#manually-create-a-windows-service-for-mongodb) imply that the MSI installs into c:\mongodb\:
The following procedure assumes you have installed MongoDB using the .msi installer with the path C:\mongodb\.
You can install into this path with a Custom install, but the default path for a Complete install is: "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\". It seems the assumption is that the user will have followed/read all of the above steps on this page rather than skipping directly to the section to find out how to create a Windows service.
I think it would be clearer to use the default path in the service examples, or have a more explicit note reminding of the custom path that has been used based on the msiexec command line examples earlier on this page.
