For me setup.exe always seems to compare what I actually have INSTALLED with what it downloads rather than what is in the download directory. So I have ended up making local 'mirrors' that are missing essential utilities, because my machine already had them installed. Similarly it seems to download over and over again components I have downloaded but not installed.
