First, let's clear this up.

Do an apple menu (upper left corner) and then About This Mac.   Is the 
OS X Version really 10.0.4?

If so, that's your problem.  The driver you're trying to install won't 
run on 10.0.x, probably needs at least 10.1.3 if not 10.2.x.  You're on 
.0 OS from 5 years ago maybe.   That'd be like downloading a Windows XP 
driver and being upset it won't install in Windows 98.
