Installing Vista drivers on Windows 7

I've just moved from XP to Windows 7 64 bit. Some of the hardware wasn't 100% supported. My Logitech QuickCam Orbit was one of them. The only software available was for Vista x64. The software won't install on Windows 7 x64.

So here's the workaround:
Install 7-zip.
Download the Logitech Quickcam Orbit Vista x64 driver.
Right click the downloaded file (qc1150.exe).
Go to 7-Zip > Open Archive
Then extract the files somewhere.
Open up the extracted folder.
Go to QuickCam > x64
Double click QuickCam.exe
The driver is also there but Windows 7 should have already loaded it.

Good luck! If you need a hand drop me a comment.
