you can fix the problem by building setup.exe from scratch.

before you build setup.exe, please checkout commits that used 
GetModuleHandleExA, and fix it by replacing with alternative api 
provided in win2k.

GetModuleHandleEx is known to be supported in minimum winxp (0x0501), 
according to 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683200(v=vs.85).aspx
by the way, in winbase.h, it is enabled with minimum of win2k. which 
should be fixed.
#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500)
WINBASEAPI BOOL WINAPI GetModuleHandleExA(DWORD,LPCSTR,HMODULE*);
WINBASEAPI BOOL WINAPI GetModuleHandleExW(DWORD,LPCWSTR,HMODULE*);
#endif
