If you didn’t think that was possible, you were wrong.
Till now you shouldn’t attempt to install Orange’s software in Windows 7 x64. By that I mean that you should not install the Internet Everywhere f***d up application which comes on the internal memory of the USB Modem, you should not install the drivers which also come with the USB Modem even if you ran them in compatibility mode as admin (trust me, they will never work).
Firmware issue: I bought the modem in August 2009 and the firmware version provided on the modem was the latest. I don’t know if this magic trick will work on older firmware versions.
I tried and succeeded this mod in Windows 7 64 bit build 7100 RC.
Step one
Go to Huawei website and download the appropriate driver for your Huawei E160 USB Modem. You’ll see that Huawei included in this package quite a lot of utilities unlike Orange. Unrar the freshly downloaded archive and run “AutoRun.exe”. This will install the Mobile Connect software and the 64bit drivers for Huawei E160.
If you don’t want to waste time searching for the drivers and app here’s an internal link.
*This operation should be done with the USB Modem not plugged in.
Step two (optional)
