Unfortunately, the Cygwin Time Machine hasn't been archiving setup.exe

Hmmm... that doesn't seem to work for me on linux.... :(
And, it doesn't work for me on Cygwin either?!
This is what I get:
% strings -a w:/webserver/ftp/pub/cygwin/setup.exe | grep -i setup
name="RedHat.Cygwin.Setup"
This is the latest setup.exe from the cygwin website too. I'm at a loss
as to why it works for you and not me.
... will work on every version as far back as
