Downloaded the software from the site for my win 7 64 bit machine and unzipped it.
Started the server
as
D:\TechExp\Software\mongodb-win32-x86_64-2.2.2\mongodb-win32-x86_64-2.2.2\bin>mongod –dbpath D:\TechExp\MongoDB
only to get an exception

After looking at the error realized that MongoDB needs a dbpath so created that and restarted the server
D:\TechExp\Software\mongodb-win32-x86_64-2.2.2\mongodb-win32-x86_64-2.2.2\bin>mo
ngod –dbpath D:\TechExp\MongoDB
and and voila the server was running !!!
