Install Only Mongo Client/Shell - not MongoDB on Windows

I found exactly same question for RHEL: (my question is for Windows) Install ONLY mongo shell, not mongodb

Is there an Windows equivalent of: mongodb-org-shell

Can I copy the mongo.exe from a Server installation on another Windows machine?

Here is my solution and it worked(just need 21MB space and you don't need to install anything.)

  1. Download Zip package for widnows edition (Here)
  2. un-zip the file
  3. get into the path "bin" and find mongo.exe(21MB).
  4. delete all of other files or you can copy mongo.exe to somewhere you wanted.

Upon executing the .msi installation file you can do a custom install of the specific components you want.

On Windows, you can install per component using with the unattended installation option.

Once you've downloaded the .msi installer from MongoDB Download Centre. You can install just the mongo shell component using: 

msiexec.exe /q /i mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-3.6.5-signed.msi ^
        ADDLOCAL="Client"
