I am looking for a file called bootsect.exe

I have downloaded a proper image of windows 7 64 bit and have a key. I am trying to get the image loaded onto a usb stick for install but it keeps saying it needs bootsect.exe. I have copied this off a windows 7 cd but it is the 64bit version and i need the 32bit version.

Does anyone know where I can get this file?

Thanks
 
yes, It gives an error about bootsect...

I dont have an MS account, i just need the 32bit bootsect file

When creating a bootable USB device, I am getting an error about bootsect
To make the USB device bootable, you need to run a tool named bootsect.exe. In some cases, this tool needs to be downloaded from your Microsoft Store account. This many happen if you're trying to create a 64-bit bootable USB device from a 32-bit version of Windows. To download bootsect:

Login to your Microsoft Store account to view your purchase history
Look for your Windows 7 purchase
Next to Windows 7, there is an "Additional download options" dropdown
In the dropdown, select the "32-bit ISO" option
Right-click the link and save the bootsect.exe file to the location where you installed the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (e.g. C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool)
Once the file has been saved, go back to the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to create your bootable USB device
