    How to start the process, it is how you are doing it, it is not necessary to write mongod.exe, simply from the command line, inside the folder /bin:

    mongod.exe

    The error message caught my attention, remember that you must first create the folder where the data will be created

    mddata\db

    When the directory is created, execute the process again.

    I have only used the 64-bit versions of Mongo 2.* and 3.*, and the only problem I have had is with the permissions of /data/db/, your message indicates that in the 32-bit versions it does not have the journaling property enabled by default .

    storage.journal.enabled
Tipo: boolean    
Default: true es sistemas de 64-bit, false en sistemas de 32-bit

    Check the configuration document

    You can create a mongod.cfg file

    C:\mongodb\mongod.cfg

    which will contain:

    storage:
   journal:
      enabled: true

    to use it when you start the process:

    mongod.exe --config "C:\mongodb\mongod.cfg"

    or you can try too

    mongod.exe --journal

    In the end I had the same problem and in this case it wasn't enabling the property journaling, it's specifying a different storage engine: 

    > mongod.exe --storageEngine=mmapv1
