Try *copying* setup64.exe to foo.exe.  Or download it again but save it
with the name foo.exe.

Windows may be remembering that the file used to be called setup*.exe.
That memory might not get copied.

For what it's worth, I think that setup should be renamed to something like
getcygwin just to avoid this issue.
