How do you start setup?  Maybe one of the following will work for you.

A Windows shortcut can be set up to start minimized.  My impression is
that one can use and mechanism to launch a Windows shortcut and then
Windows will follow the instructions ("Start in:", "Run:", etc.) in the
shortcut.

In cmd:
    start /min

From a command line (though not a bash shell when cygwin, bash, or maybe
mintty are being updated):
    cygstart --minimize
or
    cmd /c start /min
