Q: cannot install driver for win 7 32 bits profesional with os x lion

I have a IMAC 21,5 inches with os x lion and I also brought a windows 7 profesional 32 bits. Tried to install following manual, But with bootcamp 4 or boot camp 5 systems always say software is not compatible. I tried to install driver by driver but never work also.

What can I do to solve this issue?

Regards

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    What year is your iMac. If it is late 2012 you can only use Windows 7 or 8 64bit. See the Bootcamp System Requirements here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

    I have Imac midi 2011, which say if I have windows 7 profesional 32 bits, I must install Bootcamp 4, I downloaded it , but system tell me message error I told before.

    After that, I downloaded bootcamp 5 too, which is indicated to Windows 7 64 bit (mine is 32 bits) system say same message "version os bootcamp is incompatible with equipment.

    Can I download either bootcampo 4 in another equipment (like PC) and after copy to pendrive formated fat 32, and finally start in IMAC, or I must download it only thru IMAC?

    Thanks in advanced, I think this was more easy
