Bootcamp issue with new iMac

Hi - I just purchased a new 21.5 inch iMac with Intel Core i7. I used Bootcamp to partition a new drive, and I installed 32bit Windows 2007 Home Premium. Everything worked without a problem, until I tried to install Bootcamp in the Windows environment. It says that "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running". I searched the forums for similar issues - I tried to re-download the Bootcamp update in OSX; I tried to use the command prompt to go right to the msi file, and nothing worked. Unfortunately, I cannot connect to the internet through Windows until I instal all the drivers, so I am stuck.

Does anyone know if the Bootcamp drivers are supported on the new iMac i7?

Hi, ta know, they don't mention it here, but I'm wondering if 10.8 might not require 64 bit Win7?

Thanks BDAqua - I used these links when I originally set it up. I tried to install the 64bit version of Windows, but it didn't work. The 32bit installed well, it just won't install the drivers, so I can't really do anything. I have the 1TB Fusion Drive.
