Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit "Debug/Checked Build" keeps BSODding me

Hi, I'm trying to install the bootcamp software and drivers on my copy of Windows 7 Debug/Checked Build 64-bit version. However, whenever I try running it, the BSOD eventually pops up and crashes my computer. Is there simply an incompatibility between Boot Camp and the "Debug/Checked Build" edition of Windows 7 (don't ask me why I got this version... from the sounds of it, I thought it was simply the latest upgrade), or is there some way to make this work? Please reply ASAP. I need the help! Thanks!

EDIT: I should point out this is the late 2011 Macbook Pro, 2.5 GHz, 8GB RAM

I do believe this is a compatibility issue with the debug/checked build of windows 7 and the boot camp manager that gets installed with the drivers. I tried installing twice and got bsod everytime, then I installed each driver individually and I did not get the bsod, but this does not install the boot camp manager which is necessary for a smooth user experience. I spent two hours on the phone with apple support and microsoft support and both say that it is the other that provides support for this issue. (I work for an apple specialisit store/authorized service provider) It is my understanding that the debug/checked build will crash anytime it senses the slightest issue where the normal version will attempt to keep running. Sorry I could not provide you with a solution, but you are not alone on this issue.
