Can't execute boot camp on windows 7, Macbook Pro

I installed windows 7 today, but ran across the trouble, that I was unable to set up any drivers. Since both the USB and the Wi-Fi drivers were absent, I could neither set them up from a memory stick, nor via internet. Then I copied the boot camp folder from OSX to the windows folder, but for what ever reason the .exe file of boot camp refused to be opened on windows, saying that "it can't run on this computer". Attempted to install the drivers manually - nothing worked.

At some point even the keyboard and trackpad did not work after some reboot.

Any hint how I can effectively install at least wifi and USB drivers?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Windows 7

Please download the specific drivers for your Mac year/model from Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support . Do not try inappropriate versions of BC drivers. Once you have them copied over to the Windows side, run setup.exe.
