Hi
Did yo download the win32 installer from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16768&package_id=12881&release_id=262249 ? The Download dia-setup-0.94.zip worked without problems for me
The platform independent file you downloaded contains the source code for the application which you'll have to compile yourself. I have no idea how this can be done on Windows. the INSTALL file you mentioned is simply a text file, if you'll open it with notepad or some other text editor you'll see the compilation instructions.
I suspect the file you downloaded got corrupt can you try to download the win32 installer again?

p.s. Fauti, Joel I'm CC'ing you because this might apply to you as well.
