Clearly a false positive based on an overly broad heuristic. Since it
looks it is behavioral based, you could try to separate the download and
install part. Also it might help if you strip setup.exe of the "I was
downloaded from the big bad Internet" information that Windows slaps on
it (most easily by copying it to a FAT32 partitioin, such as a USB
stick).

If you start setup-exe from a CMD window you'll get plenty of output.
