The search path should be the "bin" subdirectory, not the top-level 
directory.

Everything should have been built by build.sh.  If you double-click 
openslide.jar in the unzipped bin directory, that will launch a demo 
slide viewer app.  If you can open a slide file with the demo viewer, 
the problem is likely your search path.

If the demo viewer doesn't work, you can try opening openslide-jni.dll 
in Dependency Walker to find the missing dependency.  Please let us know 
what you discover.
