    Description

      Two things we have noticed, installing mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-2.6.4.zip to Windows 8.1 Professional.

      • if the target directory has a deep path (I had something under my Cygwin directory, creating a rather long Windows path) launching the services fails, but none of the error messages give any indication that the long path name would be the reason. Doing the same in another folder (s.a. C:\MongoDB) works without problems.

      I would like you to document this, and if possible, make sure services would not even attempt to start, or they would give appropriate error messages. It may be a Windows issue, though, outside of your reach.

      • Having the "win32-x86_64-2008plus" in the installer name seems confusing to me:
        I would like a 64-bit version, why is there "win32" in the name?
        Is it somehow optimized for "2008plus"?

      I know that it works for pretty much anything. Then why the name? You could simply call these "win64-2.6.4", couldn't you?

      Our customers need to install MongoDB by themselves, so it's not just me, it's what we place to instructions for them.

      My apologies for pushing two into one (bad bug management habits, I know). Just wanted you to be aware of these.
