setup.exe crashes on WinXP SP2

There's some kind of characteristic of Windows architecture which means 
that if you are trying to install Cygwin from a release stored on a 
local drive (or CD or as in your case a USB device) then the attempt 
will fail if setup.exe and setup.ini are located at H:/ and release/ is 
located at H:/release/. For reasons that I do not understand you have to 
bury the Cygwin release at least one directory deep on the device, such as

	H:/Cyg0/setup.exe
	H:/Cyg0/setup.ini
	H:/Cyg0/release/

Any name for the burial site will do.

Any help?
