#####In this scenario I ran "meteor create" and "meteor" as a regular user. I get silently dumped back to the command prompt. Switching to an admin user WITHOUT removing the lock file and trying to run "meteor" results in the mongo error regarding lock files. I cannot get meteor to run at all using just a regular user. As you can see removing the lock file as a regular user makes no difference.

C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop>meteor create test4
test4: created.

To run your new app:
   cd test4
   meteor

C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop>cd test4

C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop\test4>meteor
[[[[[ C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop\test4 ]]]]]

=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.
   Building the application                  -
C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop\test4>del .meteor\local\db\mongod.lock

Next I switched to an admin console and on the same project:

C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop\test4>meteor
[[[[[ C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop\test4 ]]]]]

=> Started proxy.
Unexpected mongo exit code 100. Restarting.
Unexpected mongo exit code 100. Restarting.
Unexpected mongo exit code 100. Restarting.
Can't start Mongo server.
MongoDB had an unspecified uncaught exception.
This can be caused by MongoDB being unable to write to a local database.
Check that you have permissions to write to .meteor/local. MongoDB does
not support filesystems like NFS that do not allow file locking.

C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop\test4>del .meteor\local\db\mongod.lock

C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop\test4>meteor

=> Started your app.

#####In this scenario I ran both "meteor create" and "meteor" as admin, never touched the lock file and everything worked flawlessly.

C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop>meteor create test5
test5: created.

To run your new app:
   cd test5
   meteor

C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop>cd test5

C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop\test5>meteor
[[[[[ C:\Users\ciwolsey\Desktop\test5 ]]]]]

=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.
=> Started your app.

=> App running at: http://localhost:3000/
