Answer 1

it generally happens if you are not installing mongodb by MSI package available on mongodb official site. follow these steps :
Go to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\2.6.12 in your system location and look for bin, it is is not there check system requirements :
1. MongoDB for Windows 64-bit Legacy runs on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 and does not include recent performance enhancements.
2. try this command on cmd

wmic os get osarchitecture

for checking your system architecture then
3. install mongodb by running this on cmd

msiexec.exe /q /i mongodb-<version>-signed.msi INSTALLLOCATION="<installation directory>"
