Instead of downloading the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant, download it from the Apple website. Mid 2009 and older MacBooks Pro only support this Windows support software version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 This version allows you to install a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 version.
