I described in step #1:
 Dir: c:\freepascal\binutils\i386-win32\
 URL: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/branches/fixes_2_4/install/binw32

See http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus#STEP_.231:_Create_directories
It works, believe me... I use these scripts.

If you got the FPC from the SVN, you can install anywhere.
