Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp 5.1.2

I purchased a new installation disk of Windows 7 32-bit. I must use 32-bit as this install is to run work specific applications that are supported in 32-bit. When attempting to install with Boot Camp, I get "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform." My Boot Camp is version 5.1.2. Is there a way to downgrade/download Boot Camp to an earlier version that supports installation of Window 7 32-bit?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

I've been there already. This installs a Windows application to download Windows drivers after Windows has been installed on the Mac. It has to be run in Windows. I can't get to that point because Boot Camp 5.1.2 will not allow me to install Windows 7 32-bit because it only supports 64-bit. I need to replace Boot Camp 5.1.2 in my Mac OS with an earlier version of Boot Camp that supports 32-bit. Is this possible?

Thanks for the help.
