Mongo error on I control hotfix

Question

I have tried to start mongod.exe from my 2008 R2 server and im getting this error:

I CONTROL Hotfix kb2731284 or a later update is not installed, will zero-o         


        

Answer 1

In my case the problem was that I had a space in my data path: E:\Program Files\MongoDB\Data\

I ran dir /x within E:\ to get the short path for Program Files and used the short path instead: mongod.exe --dbpath E:\PROGRA~1\MongoDB\Data\

It worked. Shocking that spaces in paths are still an issue!
