Which is why I was suggesting removing '/etc/setup/bash.lst.gz'.  It sounds
like this file may have become corrupt, which can cause 'setup.exe' to
crash.  If that's it, this should allow 'setup.exe' to run without the
need of removing everything and reinstalling.  But if it's all the same to
you, then you can certainly go ahead and do that.
