  A valid point, but that is absolutely nothing to do with setup.exe, it's a bug in the particular script or app.  And best worked round by setting your home dir to something without a space in /etc/passwd.

  Then do it manually.  It takes no more than a couple of seconds to click and swipe your mouse across the text and hit delete.  You're saving yourself only the tiniest amount of effort by not bothering and imposing anti-social costs on others by doing so.  Surely you can see that's inconsiderate?
