I am trying to install MongoDB on Windows 7 Enterprise (32bit) VM running in VirtualBox on Windows7 Ultimate 64bit.

The MongoD.exe start up reports a missing Microsoft Hotfix, KB2731284. I downloaded and installed the hot fix on the VM. The hotfix was not required on the Host PC.

Mongod.exe still reported it was not installed. Ran the hotfix a second time and it reported that it was already installed.

I tried uninstalling an reinstalling mongoDB, no luck.

Stuck, any ideas?

MongoDB.com lists stackoverflow as the support portal.

Your MongoDB questions on StackOverflow should be "programming based" as that is what StackOverflow is for. – Blakes Seven Mar 05 '16 at 02:44

per SO I think you can run MongoDb without applying the Hotfix, but I would not recommend it. In long time you may run into problems. They have included some fixes in MongoDB to workaround the problem.

On Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 when applying the hotfix you get a better file allocation performance what is relevant for MongoDB

So when using mongo 2.6.0 there is workaround implemented.
