I don't do windows, so can't tell you exactly, but there should be a
fuzzystrmatch.sql file somewhere there as well. Run that SQL script, i.e.
psql -f fuzzystrmatch.sql database_name

You'll need to run that install script in each database where you'd like to
have fuzzystrmatch functions available. Alternatively, run it in the template1
database before creating the databases you want it used in, and it will be
automatically installed in each database.
