Without that patch, there is a great chance that setup.exe would crash
when doing an install of a big number of packages (i.e. clean
install). I can confirm this myself, since yesterday I've tried many
times to do a clean install and without the patch it crashed for me
every time.

Btw the patch is really very small.
