How do I install Camera Raw 6 into Photoshop CS4?

Question

I have a NIkon D5100 camera and I would like to be able to edit the NEF files created by that camera in Photoshop.

I have a Win 7 - 32 bit computer with Adobe CS4.

I have downloaded and installed Application Manager 8.0_all.exe

I have downloaded the Camera_Raw_6_4_1_updater.zip file.

I unzipped AdobePatchINstaller.exe from the Camera_Raw zip file and when I run it I get the following screen.

Please help me figure out how to perform a successful installation. Thanks....
