My advice for setting up a wireless network of this type, especially if you're a novice, is to layer the security once you have it connected. It's simple 802.11b/g wireless, so moook was right, you don't need the software.
If you have the drivers for your wireless device installed, you can use the wireless detection built into windows to find the network by its SSID. Once you have a connection, make sure you can log into the Airport. THEN, once you've actually got a real connection, then you can start adding the additional layers of security, MAC filtering, and WEP or WPA (WPA is far better). If you can't get encryption running, at least have MAC filtering. Your data won't be encrypted, but at least no1 else can associate with your router.
