GlobeSurfer Icon 7.2 USB stick - Windows 7 Prof. 64-bit - driver installation

Problem:
I encountered following problem when trying to use the WLAN USB stick of Mobistar on a Win 7 Pro 64-bit: the software did not install correctly.


Solution:
go to: http://www.option.com/en/support/software-download/mobile-devices-solutions/icon225/
download: GlobeTrotter® Connect 3.1 ( iCON® 225 )
version: 3.1d0-1162


Don't forget : in Belgium you need to use APN web.pro.be in order to connect to your work VPN.


Cause:
I guess the drivers that come with the Globetrotter Icon 7.2 are 32-bit, so they are not signed to use on 64-bit systems and fail to load.
