Are you sure setup.exe has execute permissons?

Same question.

The problem is, Cygwin will execute file even if it has no executable bit
set. But zsh relies on it to find out executable file(s).  If you do not use
NTEA Cygwin is using some magic to find out (and return in stat) if file is
executable; but if you use NTEA it completly relies on file modes. I do not
know any easy workaround here.

Zsh just assumes that anything in path is executable, hence it can complete
command in path but the same command by file name. I cannot at the moment
say if it correct or not.
