setup is a Windows program. The files it creates have the inheritable
permissions of the parent directory.
For new installations, all permissions are inherited from the top
install folder (typically c:\).
In your case, it looks like some directories (like /bin) have OK
inheritable permissions, while others (like /etc) don't.
In addition to the properties menu, you can quickly visualize permissions
with the Windows "cacls" program.
