If you run into “System error 193 has occurred. *** is not a valid Win32 application.” -error when starting the service, there is probably some error in the mongod.exe command line. The command like you use here is used when installing the service (you can check it via Windows Service Manager). For example omitting the .exe -extension or having some extra spaces in dir names can cause these problems.
