I'm trying to run mongo via the cmd prompt (mongod) as Administrator taking the default values. The data\db dirs exist yet the process fails stating it doesn't. I noticed all the dirs under and including c:\dev which has the mongo dir as a sub dir are readonly. I'm assuming that the db isn't allowed to initialize and create itself because of the readonly. I don't want to move the binaries to my Local\AppData dir. I tried using icals and attrib commands but it's a nogo still.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
