I finally managed to check this on a virtual machine at home.  At work I
could only check the sources and import list for setup.exe to see if
GetModuleHandleExA was referenced and I couldn't see any sign of it.
And, unsurprisingly, when I try setup.exe at home under W2K it does work
fine under Windows Service Pack 4.

If you're having problems it seems like you either have an old version
of setup.exe or a non-Cygwin version of setup.exe.
