I would like to point out that following the instructions that you have here will leave the user with a non usable mongodb service. The config file needs a line added with the dbpath=xxx specified for this to actually work. Also why can't the installer create this file for you with defaults if it isn't already there. I have installed mongodb 4-5 times and this always gets me. |

The default dbpath is \data\db, which we do include instructions to create. http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/#set-up-the-mongodb-environment
