  Hell, you can make the whole thing "move along" even better, by simply
killing 'setup.exe' instead of sh.exe.  Sure, it may not be correct, but at

  Or you could wait for it to finish doing whatever vital job it was doing.
Your choice.

  Works my way too, *and* with the added advantage you don't end up with a
semi-broken installation.
