It might be easiest to use wget or similar to just download everything.

That would make it 'setup.exe' version 2.573.2.2.  See:

<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2007-07/msg00002.html>

As Dave said, 1.5.24.-2 is the current version for the Cygwin package,
containing the DLL.  A version for any particular package that you
download and/or install has no particular relationship to the version
of 'setup.exe' (or any other package for that matter).
