A Windows service needs to communicate with Windows' service control manager. I guess that mongodb does not support this out of the box. So you either need to create a small service framework that starts mongodb or you can use something like srvany.exe (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890/en-us/).

Service Installation can be done with SC.EXE

MongoDB already runs as a service. Why aren't you installing it the usual way?
