You should really read the README. There's some information about the FreeBASIC installation:

Installing:

o Windows version:

- Unpack the zip archive to any folder of your preference -- C:\ is a good
idea if you are not going to use an IDE later. The directory structure
as used inside the archive must be preserved.

- Run the INSTALL.BAT file to generate the import libraries -- they are
needed to call any function on DLL's and to create the executables.

The important stuff for you is the paragraph about "INSTALL.BAT".
