Is it possible to do it with some
VERY cheap microphone and the sound card included in any PC?

You may consider using an affordable electret testing microphone, such as
the Behringer ECM8000 together with a suitable preamp and phantom power (you
can consider using a small mixer from Behringer).

If you want to go for real cheap, you may build your own measuring mike from
a Panasonic capsule.

Most soundcards are OK.

On the software side, you may use Audua Speaker Workshop (freeware), which
is an excellent entry level solution.

I downloaded this but I cannot get it to set itself up.
It tries to use acrobat to open it, then comes up with a notice
"document does not start with '%PDF' ".

Another dead end?
