Installed Windows 7/ Downloaded Correct Bootcamp Support / No luck

hello, hope can help,
have repeated whole process 3 times already, has taken 8 strait hours of time , still have had no success.

quick summery
put simply, after windows , running on mac, wireless network wont work, cannot download hot fix, , support driver files bootcamp not open because says not "32 valid" ?. im using 64bit disk.



wireless network adaptor automatically doesn't work on windows right after installation,
had load hot fix onto sd card along bootcamp drivers, open hotfix file in windows.

first time able install fix, windows restarted , installed update, logged on... , nothing changed.
@ point attempted open "setup" file in bootcamp support folder, , error message came saying wasn't valid.





longer explanation of complete process: (to cancel out questions)

able find support driver here:

http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog

old fashion coded page has bunch of apple drivers can download pasting 1 of codes in browser,
searched bootcamp support drivers, , found code exact model (mac pro 8,2)
able manually downloaded drivers instead of using bootcamp assistant.

side note,
able download bootcamp drivers via boot camp assistant after 5th try,
have both files know supposed work 100%. loaded , unzipped on sd card supposed when open windows.


have genuine windows 7 home premium x64 bit cd inlaws used cd after partitioned drive in bootcamp.

bootcamp run supposed to, , followed step step instructions in video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvfrq0yidui&feature=related

once windows finished installing,
automatically not detect network card, couldn't connect internet , download apples bug fix. (the hot fix)
instead downloaded hot fix on separate sd card, turned windows on , loaded hot fix sd card.
windows installed hot fix update, restarted, nothing changed.

ive tried skipping right uploading drivers, , windows wont activate support because says not "32 valid"

removed windows 7 vis bootcamp rinse , repeat hoping made simple mistake, no same thing happened.


conclusion
-im wondering if should "istall important windows updates" during begining of windows preperation...
maybe fix issues of not reconizing wierless network, , not being able upen bootcamp file?
(it says not supposed install windows updates untill hot fix , bootcamp support activated on windows)

 

opps nevermind.
