Download the .mq4 or .exe file, and move it to the ...experts\indicators sub-folder (under where your MT4 is installed). Then exit and restart MT4, to have MT4 recognize the indicator. Press Ctrl-N to open the Navgator, and the indicator should appear under the 'Custom Indicators' dropdown tree. Drag it onto your chart, set the parameters as you wish, and click OK.

This definitely works with Win XP. I don't run Vista, but I read somewhere that there might be problems if MT4 has been installed under the Program Files folder, as Vista locks you out of this area. Somebody else here might be able to clarify/confirm. Or do a forum search for Vista yourself - this topic has been covered before.

More MT4 help here.
