In order to get HTC Hero synchronizes with Windows 7 computer:

  1. Download latest specialized sync tool from HTC, namely HTC Sync 2.04 from HTC: HTCsync.zip
  2. Install the downloaded program on the computer. At this moment, your computer still unable to recognize the HTC Hero.
  3. Manually update the HTC drivers from Windows 7, using the Windows Vista drivers by installing HTC Sync software on a machine running Windows Vista and then copying the drivers (namely androidusb.cat, androidusb.inf, androidusb.sys, htcrndis.cat, htcrndis.inf and WdfCoInstaller01007.dll in HTC Drivers folder) over to the Windows 7 machine.

    Alternatively, download pre-downloaded HTC Hero drivers packaged in ZIP format:

    HTC Hero driver for 32-bit Windows 7: HTC_Driver_32.zip
    HTC Hero driver for 64-bit Windows 7: HTC_Driver_64.zip

  4. Extract the driver into a folder. For example, %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64 (for the Windows 7 64-bit) or %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x86 (for the Windows 7 32-bit) accordingly.
  5. Go to Devices

    4) Update the driver (accessible from Properties -> Hardware tab) for incorrectly installed Android Phone from the Devices and Printers menu in Windows’ Start Menu, by selecting the copied driver location. If no ADB driver been installed yet, just install the driver directly by right click on the .INF file and select Install.

    I went around in circles for hours before I discovered on the HTC site that USB 2.0 was required for Sync. The particular port I was on was an old version. I plugged into my monitor port and bingo.

    What a PIA this has been!

    It works on Win 7 64bit pro with HTC Sync 2.0.18.

    Disable the Internet connection and install HTC Sync.
    Use the USb Debug mode and attach the phone.
    Thanks for all.
