While running 'setup.exe' from a Cygwin shell may require you to
reboot before you see the results of your update, if you are going to
do this, you should at least use '/' instead of '\' for path separators.
Better yet, use POSIX path notation.  Alternatively, run 'setup.exe'
directly from an elevated cmd.exe instance if you prefer DOS path
syntax.
