Are you absolutely sure that you're running Windows Server 2008 R2?

Go 1.11 dropped support for Windows Server 2008 and requires at least 2008R2. source

BTW:

On January 14, 2020, support for Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 will end.

You should probably look for a different OS (version) anyway.

Is it necessary to install git first?

Yeah git need to be installed on your system. May you have to restart your system or/and manually add the path to environment variables.

Until you got gitea running i would recomment to always run from command line: gitea.exe web (may with additional parameters) to see error messages. If gitea runs you could set a log path in app.ini.

If all is running well you could also configure as system service to run gitea. Take a look in gitea docs:
https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/windows-service/
