title: Cannot start MongoDB as a service
body: <p>I have been developing for MongoDB for some months now and would like to install it as a service on my Windows 7 Enterprise machine.  The following is the command that I have executed to create the service:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"D:\Milvia Systems\Development\MongoDB\mongod.exe" --logpath "D:\Milvia Systems\Development\MongoDB\logs\DBLog.log" --logappend --dbpath "D:\Milvia Systems\Development\MongoDB\db" -vvv --reinstall
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, whenever I use net start "MongoDB" or the Service Control Panel I receive the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control
    request in a timely fashion.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Environment: Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit
  MongoDB: 1.6.3 pdfile version 4.5</p>
