Rather than build your own copy of setup.exe while you wait for this
defect to be fixed, why not use the --packages option for setup.exe to
select the set of packages you know you need from the command line?  If
your users would have difficulty with that, you could write a simple
batch file to wrap the setup.exe invocation.
