Can I install on MacBook Windows 32-bit version? I went through the installation and when I try to run the update on Windows (due to no internet access) I receive a comment that the Windows and Boot Camp Windows update don't agree? I downloaded Windows update through Boot Camp process?
Please find your Mac year/model in Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support matrix and check what versions of Windows you can run and the specific drivers you need.
Windows Update requires internet access to contact M$ servers. If you do not have Bootcamp Drivers loaded and installed, some of your Apple-specific hardware will not work.

Hope I don't sound silly - but what I need to do is install Boot Camp 4 on USB that is properly formatted and I don't have to touch what I have installed on my MacBook - which is version 5 - correct?
The version of Bootcamp Assistant and Bootcamp Drivers can be different. It depends on the version of Windows you are planning to use.
It would help quite a bit if you can provide your Mac year/model.
MacBook Pro 15 Late 2011 2.2GHZ i7
From the same link posted earlier,
| Mac model | Windows 8 64-bit | Windows 7 64-bit | Windows 7 32-bit | Windows Vista 64-bit | Windows Vista 32-bit | Windows XP 32-bit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) |

You can install W7 32-bit, but you will need to use Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033 drivers. You will need to run Bootcamp Assistant 4 from an older version of OSX. You can install OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support which has BCA 4.x and then install W7 32-bit.
So do I need to just download version 4 files on USB or uninstall 5 Boot Camp and install 4?
Boot Camp 4, OS X Lion and Mountain Lion: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support should also help.
You do not need to uninstall BCA 5.x. What version of OSX do you currently have?
From Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support
You can also download Boot Camp 4 or Boot Camp 5.1 support software from the Apple Support website. Boot Camp 5.1 requires OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3 or later.
Yosemite OS X
Boot is 5.1.3
Do you have the ability to install Lion/Mountain Lion?
Thank you! I downloaded Boot 4 and that seemed to resolve it.
