MongoDB doesn't have an installer (or setup) per se. It is installed
using what is commonly referred to as "xcopy deployment".

Simply unzip the the downloaded zip file and put the MongoDB directory
(called something like "mongodb-win32-i386-2.0.0" depending on which
version you downloaded) anywhere you want. The executables are in the
bin directory inside of that.

The two executables you will use more often are mongod.exe (the
server) and mongo.exe (the MongoDB shell).

Typically you will want to launch a "Command Prompt" window and start
the executables from there. That way if they happen to exit
unexpectedly your window won't go away before you have a chance to
read any messages.

More details are available in the online documentation at:
