You have to be careful to check each time that you run setup.exe that ghostscript is not being installed (if it is, just click in the "New" column until "Skip" is displayed). This should really be fixed by the ghostscript maintainer so that ghostscript and ghostscript-x11 can both be installed at the same time, or so that applications can depend on a package that doesn't cause one or the other to be installed.
