Boot Camp 5.1 for Windows 7 driver setup file missing

I am not sure if I am only one here. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bits, and I just followed Apple instruction on Boot Camp 5.1 and got all the files for drivers on USB (came with 16gb, 3.0) and it was setting up smoothly till boot into Windows 7 setup on macbook pro, and then it says can't find drivers, so I manually open folders in this USB and it show files list, and I also opened the file that I downloaded from Apple (Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621) then plug in Windows on mac, and they picked up the USB and all those files, however I don't see any "setup.exe" anywhere. Is there missing file or something?

Thanks for your help in advance.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Ok, I have spend more time investigate and found that "setup.exe" was already in download from Apple. However when I moved to USB and plug in macbook and then install the Windows 7 then it asked for driver, and I was able to find my USB and when I opened the folder, it wasn't in there at all. no setup.exe or anything else in it.

Any one could help me get Windows 7 install on my macbook please? I need it for my new job where they required use Internet Explorer.

Thanks,

I was able to solve the issue... It was USB flash drive 3.0. I was able to find my old USB Flash 2.0 and went through same process and success installed.

Hope it help people who have same issue.
