For me setup.exe always seems to compare what I actually have INSTALLED 
with what it downloads rather than what is in the download directory. So 
I have ended up making local 'mirrors' that are missing essential 
utilities, because my machine already had them installed. Similarly it 
seems to download over and over again components I have downloaded but 
not installed.
