Answer 1

I think that you don't have an environmental variable declared. Assuming that your MongoDB installation is C:\ProgramFiles\MongoDB\Server\YOUR_VERSION_NUMBER\, you should just add the bin folder path of that version of MongoDB to your PATH system environment variable.

Here's a link where you can find the way to do that without complications : http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
