Hi Rajplayster,
I’ve tested this by downloading and installing mongodb-win32-x86_64-enterprise-windows-64-3.0.6-signed.msi
on Windows 10 Professional edition.
Then I followed the instruction to Run MongoDB for Windows to start mongod.exe
, and it ran successfully.
If you double-clicked the mongod.exe
right away after the installation, you may not have the \data\db\
directory yet. You can confirm this by running mongodb on PowerShell
which would show you an error message :
PS C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin> .\mongod.exe
2015-09-23T17:00:19.535-0700 I STORAGE [initandlisten] exception in initAndListen: 29 Data directory C:\data\db\ not found., terminating
2015-09-23T17:00:19.537-0700 I CONTROL [initandlisten] dbexit: rc: 100
As stated in the installation steps, you can solve this by creating MongoDB directory first. Then you would be able to start mongod either through PowerShell or double-click mongod.exe
.
However instead of starting up manually each time, you may want to set up MongoDB as a Windows Service to start MongoDB at boot time.
Kind Regards,
Wan.
Thank you, Wan but it did not help me.
Why would anyone run mongo on Windows ? you are not taking full advantage of mongo on windows, it doesn't matter if you are using the latest version of Windows..
Hi Rajplayster,
Can you click on the “View Problem Details” and post back the details please ?
It may provide us a better understanding of the problem.
I noticed you are installing the Enterprise edition, which is part of a commercial support subscription or trial agreement.
For more information see: https://www.mongodb.com/products/mongodb-enterprise-advanced.
You can download the Community Edition from: https://www.mongodb.org/downloads#production.
Thanks.
Regards,
Wan.
Why would anyone run mongo on Windows ? you are not taking full advantage of mongo on windows, it doesn't matter if you are using the latest version of Windows..You can create Linux VM on top of your windows and you will be in a better position to learn and do lots of cools stuff with mongo and not to mention that you will not come across these issues on Linux.
I was able to download and run MongoDB ver. 2.6.11 on Windows7 without a problem.So I guess ver. 3.x is incompatible with Win7.
Hi Emerson,
I have just tested an installation of MongoDB v3.0.8 .msi Windows 64-bit 2008 R2+ install file: mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-3.0.8-signed.msi
for Windows 7 64-bit. mongod.exe
executed as expected without an issue. See MongoDB v3.0.x Windows Install for the detailed steps of installation.
Although you may be seeing a similar error message to the previous post, it may be a different issue that is causing the problem for you. If you still having a problem with mongod.exe
, can you please start a new discussion with relevant details of:
mongod.exe
from the command prompt. .msi
or the zip
bundle. The installer file name would be helpful as well.Also it would be helpful to include in the new discussion the specific OS (i.e. Windows 7 x64) and MongoDB version as you have done here for completeness.
Kind regards,
Wan.

I have tested an installation of MongoDB v3.2 using .msi
for Windows 64-bit 2008 R2+
running on Windows 7 64-bits Professional. The installation file name is : mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-3.2.1-signed.msi
. In my environment test, I am able to execute mongod.exe
without any issues.
Also, I have tested the installation using the zip
install file: mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-3.2.3.zip
which works without any issues as well.
If you have any issues running MongoDB on Windows please open a new discussion thread. In order for others to help you better and faster please include:
MongoDB version. There are a number of available MongoDB versions. For example, v3.0.9 or v.3.2.3, etc.
Specific version of Windows. There are many Windows versions. For example, Windows 7 64-bits Professional edition, etc. See Which Windows OS am I running?
Installation file type and name. At the moment, there are four MongoDB builds for different Windows. For example: Windows 64-bit 2008 R2+
file:msi
or Windows 64-bit legacy
file:zip
. See Determine which MongoDB build you need to know which builds for which Windows version.
If you see a pop-up dialog mongod.exe has stopped working
, please click on the View problem details
button and post the content. The content would help others to help you find out the reason why it has stopped working.
If you are running from the command prompt, please post any error messages.
Whether you running Windows through a platform virtualisation such as XenServer, or VMWare.
All of the above information could be used to replicate your environment and the problem you are having. The more information you provide, the faster others would be able to help you.
See also Install MongoDB Community Edition on Windows for steps by steps installation and setup.
Best regards,

I think no need to open new discussion thread for the same problem discussing in this thread.
Hi Vinu,
In this case, opening a new discussion thread helps others to provide an answer to your question. Although users may share a similar error message, it may be a different issue that is causing it.
There could be many combinations of MongoDB builds and versions, Windows builds and versions, installer types, processors etc. For an example, the original post of this thread uses Windows 7 Professional which differs to your O/S of Windows 7 Ultimate. Detailing specific environment setup may help to identify new problems and reduce miscommunication.
Below are the error specifications from my system.
Based on your environment details, you may be encountering a problem described in MongoDB tracker ticket SERVER-21732 related to Windows on older processors (before 2011) or running in a XenServer not supporting AVX instruction set for MongoDB v3.0.3+. You may find more information on the ticket.
Please note that this issue should be resolved in the current development version of MongoDB v3.3+.
Regards,
Wan.
