Can't promise that this will work 100% but i was able to get the installer started.
1) Right click on setup.exe and go to properties.
2) Click on compatibility tab at the top.
3) Make sure the check box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
4) Make sure windows xp is selected from the drop down box.
5) Click Ok
6) Right click on setup.exe and choose "Run as administrator"
As I said, I can't promise this will work since I dont have this device but I did open the program which I wasn't able to before.

Give yourself a static IP address on the PC you are using to configure (like 192.168.1.100). Go to:
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Network Connections.
Right click on the wired connection you are using and select Properties. Click on "Internet Protocol Version 4" and select Properties. Select "Use the following IP address" and put in 192.168.1.100 for the IP; 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet; and 192.168.1.1 for the gateway. No need for a DNS server. Click OK.
Plug the bridge directly into your PC using an ethernet cable. Follow the instructions in chapter 3 of the manual (http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WET54G_V30_UG_C-WEB,0.pdf) by opening a browser and going to 192.168.1.226. Configure the bridge to connect to your wireless network.
Change your IP address back to Obtain Automatically in the setup you changed above. Plug your PC back into the network. Plug the bridge into your 722 and you should be golden.
