So you didn't read the referenced thread then.  Just to trod over the
same ground again so that this thread can end, those that prefer
'setup.exe' to be called something else on their disk when they
download it can easily change the name in the process.  The rest of
the world does not have to change to suit their needs.  They can
change things locally to be as they wish.  Simple.
