The version of the setup program is next to irrelevent. As I said, if you try to run a version that's not the current one you get a message, and updates of setup.exe are made very infrequently. It is just another confusing and meaningless number to most people. This comes from personal experience of helping people on this mailing list for a long time and having to deal with people that think they are running "Cygwin version 2.457". If you need to know the version, it's displayed on the very first splash page that you can then cancel out of.
