'setup.exe' doesn't remember your previous installations - ones you have
removed.  There'd be little call for that kind of functionality.  'setup.exe'
does allow you to install from a local directory though.  So if you keep
the directory that contained all the packages you've downloaded previously,
you can point 'setup.exe' at this directory and tell it to install everything.
