How to run a Vista-Only program on Windows 7?

I'm trying to install the software for the Nintendo Wifi USB connector onto my Laptop so I can play online in my dorm. But since Nintendo gave up support for the program they never made a Windows 7 version of the software. Is there anyway I can install it on my laptop (without have to download a whole other operating system)?
