Info
After installing the MongoDB windows service, I checked the logfile specified in the config file, and it was being logged to correctly, but when I try to start the network service, I get the following error:
"The service is not responding to the control function."
If it helps, I had a much older version installed (I believe 2.1.x) for a while, and attempted to upgrade to 2.6.0 a few weeks back, but downgraded to 2.4.10 due to issue
SERVER-13515. That's when the issue began, and upgrading to 2.6.1 hasn't helped.
I attached the config file that I'm attempting to use when the issue arises.

It looks like using absolute paths did the trick, and the service appears to be running as expected.
I thought that I had tried absolute paths, but I guess I never did.

kgroat09, have you tried using absolute paths in the config file? Does the issue reproduce with absolute paths?
Steps to Reproduce
1) Install MongoDB as a windows service using the following command:
> mongod --config D:\mongodb\mongod.cfg --install
2) Try to start service using the following command:
