I've only checked some mirrors. Since all have those same setup.exe, my idea was, that it would be the original (do I even have access to that -- I think I'm supposed not to dowloed from there?) server which is also carrying this other executable. Therefore my advice to check there (and I trust you're controlling the master server?), but of course I might be totally confused and mistaking all and everything.
