This is how you make it work:
- download and try run the driver package DELL_DW5800-LTE-4G-MOBILE-BR_A00_R303097.exe
- first it will extract, then the installer will run and give you a warning message that "This is not a Dell compatible system" or something similar
- just before the warning message, you will see that the installer is extracting an .msi file called "Dell Wireless Mobile Broadband dw5800 4G Drivers.msi" (you can repeat the install until you get the right name of the .msi file)
- without closing the"This is not a Dell compatible system" warning message, search for the .msi file and copy it to a different known location
- you can now close the "This is not a Dell compatible system" warning window
- download and install orca documentation https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370557(v=vs.85).aspx easiest way to get it is from Windows SDK (any version). You can download the whole SDK but you only need to install the MSI Editor component.
- open the .msi file with orca, do a search function for "This is not a Dell compatible system", right click on the row and choose drop line or drop row.
- save the modified .msi file, and without deleting anything from the previously extracted package, run the newly modified .msi file.

# Original author's notes
These steps allowed me to successfully install the Modem drivers on a non Dell system... however their Connection manager software Gobilink3 (Dell Package R303097) or did not work for me even when modified with orca. The good news is that the Verizon Connection Manager worked, so you can download it from the Verizon's website, http://vzam.net/download/download.aspx?productid=1011
(I successfully tested the VZAccess Manager v7.6.6.5 (2700a) for your Dell Notebooks with LTE module (Novatel E362).)
It detected the modem after a few seconds, it takes about a minutte to detect your SIM card, so give it a bit of time)
My problem is that I do not have Verizon Wireless access (I live in Canada) so I cannot test the connection. I think it looks promising.
I'm currently trying to find a way to make it work on Rogers (with a Rogers SIM) but progress is slow due to the limited time I can dedicate to this.
Let me know if it connects on Verizon with the above steps.

# My notes
I've used this successfully on a couple Dell systems NOT on the list of supported systems. The artifical model restrictions drive me nuts as the product is great, and I want to use it with newer Dell systems, but they want to sell me another product for another $100+.
