From the zip-picker:

This worked fine for me:

Installation Instructions for winXP

Use Explorer to create a folder for DJGPP. My Computer, Drive C,
File->New->Folder, "DJGPP".

Use djgpp's unzip32.exe to unzip all the zips you downloaded into the
C:\DJGPP folder. Don't unzip them each into separate folders - unzip
them all to the same place. The directory structure inside
each zip file should be preserved, so you end up with files like
c:\djgpp\bin\gcc.exe and c:\djgpp\include\stdio.h 

C:\> mkdir djgpp
C:\> cd djgpp
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\djdev203.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\faq230b.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\rhid149b.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\bnu213b.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\fil41b.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\gcc32b.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\gdb521b.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\gpp32b.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\mak3791b.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\txi42b.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\ntlfn08b.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\all402.zip
C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\grx243s.zip

Make sure you use the djgpp's unzip32, or some other unzip that doesn't
support long file names. If you install with WinNT long file names, C++
programs won't compile. Another option is to use pkunzip
instead (see the MS-DOS install instructions) or read the FAQ about the
NameNumericTail registry key. 

Right-click My Computer, select Properties. Select the Advanced tab,
then the Environment Variables button. Edit the Path system variable to
include C:\DJGPP\BIN at the front. (If you are not an
administrator, add it to the PATH variable in the User Variables
section, or add a new PATH user environment variable which contains only
C:DJGPPBIN) Add a new variable DJGPP set to
C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV (system variable if possible, user variable if not an
administrator) .

You'll need to close and reopen your MS-DOS windows for these changes to
take effect.

Rather than edit your autoexec files and/or global environment, you may
wish to create a djgpp shortcut instead. To do this, create a
c:\djgpp\djgpp.bat that has lines like this: 

@echo off
set PATH=c:\djgpp\bin;%PATH%
set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env
chdir c:\djgpp\mystuff   (or any other directory)
command

(you can replace that last line with any other shell you'd like)
