Install MongoDB 3.2.7 for Sitecore 8.x in one step using Windows PowerShell.

Create a new file Sitecore_MongoDB_Install.ps1 and paste contents from https://gist.github.com/akshaysura/335d97ab7526b610a7f9e15b285b7eca

Open Windows PowerShell ISE console as an Administrator.

Open the PowerShell file you just created and run it.

If you get the error: Sitecore_MongoDB_Install.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system.

Run Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned in your PowerShell console followed by the execution of the PowerShell file.

This will install the latest MongoDB 3.2.7 as of June 14th 2016 on your machine. I added code to Unblock a zip file downloaded onto windows. This WILL cause issues as windows sees this as unsafe.
