My son (9) has Minecraft 1.7.2 and has asked me to install Industrial Craft. What version of Industrial Craft is required (must it be 1.7.2)?
Is there an easy place for me to get it with clear installation instructions?

The latest (experimental!) version of industrial craft is currently only available for minecraft 1.6 on the IC2 forum. Installation instructions are available here, but for new users it might be smartest to install something like the Feed the Beast launcher.
This launcher will do all the complicated things for you like install Forge and downloading the proper version of minecraft and various mods. This can be installed in a different folder than minecraft and they won't interfere with each other. Newer worlds aren't compatible with older versions so you'll need to create a new world for feed the beast I'm afraid.
On the wiki for the mod, they have very helpful information for versions and support. The version of IndustrialCraft does not correlate with the version of Minecraft whatsoever, as the mod may have put out more updates than Minecraft.
Here is the link to the download page.
