Another thing to try is to rename setup.exe.
On Windows 7, getcygwin.exe works for me.

Does
  cmd /c setup.exe
work?

Due to UAC Installer Detection, setup.exe requires Admin permissions in 
order to run, but bash doesn't know that.  Use cygstart 
/path/to/setup.exe to work around this.

Setup.exe won't run from Bash on Windows 8

[Chloe]

But it will run if I double click it from Explorer. I have execute 
permissions. What is wrong?

Chloe@xps ~
$ /setup.exe
-bash: /setup.exe: Permission denied

Chloe@xps ~
$ ls -l /setup.exe
-rwx------+ 1 Chloe None 705053 Jun 13 02:03 /setup.exe
