Did you set the environment variables?
Control panel->system->Advanced
Environment variables...

Having done that, did you start a new console?

Use the 'set' command in the console to see what environment variables are set.
If the bcc variables are not there, the compiler will not function.

If you wouldn't mind another download (and aren't insistent on using the borland compiler) you may wish to check out Mingw Studio, it's basically a light-weight clone of Visual C++ using the gcc port to Windows, Mingw. (It also runs on linux, whoo hoo!)
