Accepted Answer

The following works fine for me

```
mongod --install --serviceName "Mongo DB instance" --serviceDisplayName "Mongo DB instance" --port 27017 --dbpath C:\data --logpath C:\data\1.log --smallfiles
```

Of course you should change the parameters to fit your needs. Make sure that the appropriate folders exist. After installing the service you start it as follows

```
net start "Mongo DB instance"
```
