package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 1.59-6 failed to install/upgrade: package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 is already installed and configured

I hoped this would allow me to install a windows driver for a new wifi dongle I've bought. It had a linux driver on a disc but I don't know enough about Ubuntu to install it - so hoped I would be able to use the .exe file for windows on the disk - thie program didn't install.
