Unfortunately, your advice is a bit off in this case - missing programs do
not cause syntax errors, so this is not a case of needing to rerun
setup.exe.  Rather, as I already wrote, the symptoms match the numerous
reports from people with CRLF line endings on binary mounted shell
scripts; stray \r can cause syntax errors.
