  No, those are actually two separate things.  The --no-verify option means
that setup.exe will accept any setup.ini file with any values for the md5sums
for packages, not just the official version; it doesn't stop the md5sums from
being checked, just means that a custom mirror can supply its own versions of
packages with their own md5sums, but they always get checked no matter what.

    cheers,
