Read SAp note Note 1108852 - SAP NetWeaver 7.0 / Business Suite 2005 SR3: Windows

it says:

21/MAY/08

SAP system installation only supported on 64-bit operating systems, except for dialog instances

As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 and Business Suite 2005 SR3, SAP only supports to install dialog instances on 32-bit operating systems. All remaining SAP system instances (central instance, database instance, central services instance (SCS), ABAP central services instance (ASCS)) must be installed on 64-bit operating systems. Therefore the folder "SAP Systems" is not available on the "Welcome screen", when you start the installation from a installation master DVD for 32-bit.

You might need to install dialog instances on 32-bit if you want to use 32-bit SAP NetWeaver components, such as Adobe document services. We recommend, however, to first check whether these 32-bit components can run on 64-bit operating systems. If so, we recommend to also use 64-bit systems for these components, including the dialog instance.

If you want to install a non-productive SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 based system (test systems or development are normally productive systems) on 32-bit, proceed as follows:

1. Install a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR2 (SAP ERP 2005 SR2, SAP CRM 5.0 SR2 SAP SCM 5.0 SR2, SAP SRM 5.0 SR2) system.

2. Patch this system to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 (SAP ERP 6.0, SAP CRM 5.0 SR3, SAP SCM 5.0 SR3, SAP SRM 5.0 SR3).

you have to open an OSS call to get the SR2 version.

32bit systems are deprecated, factually, new systems should only be installed on 64bit.
