No, you should not create one manually.  The installation does not
create it; instead, the Freenet node creates it when you run the node.
It should be in your Freenet directory (which, for me, is
C:\Program Files\Freenet -- yours may be different).

You should have a freenet.ini file, which is created during the
installation.  This will (probably) have a storeType line it like
this:

storeType=native

But of course yours will probably not say "native".

I'm not a Windows expert by any means, but a couple things come to
mind:

1) Use the task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del in Win98) to see what processes
   are running.  You should see either Freenet or Java there if it's
   running.

2) Use "netstat -an" from a command prompt to see what ports your OS
   is listening to.  You should see your Freenet node protocol port
   (which is unique to your node), and then the generic services like
   mainport (8888) and possibly nodestatus (8889).
