14592 is 57 * 256, and exit status 57 implies a missing .dll dependency.
Which might also explain why your sh script is failing.  My guess is that
your /bin/sh is out of date.  What do the following say for you?

$ ls -l /bin/{ba,}sh.exe
$ grep -C 5 00bash /var/log/setup.log{,.full}

I am stymied as to why setup.exe is failing to upgrade /bin/sh version 3.0
(which has a missing .dll dependency not satisfied by the current
libreadline6), but it looks like this is becoming reproducible enough that
I need to think of something to do about it.  At this point, I'm almost
leaning towards bumping to libreadline7, then 'fixing' libreadline6 by
back-revving it to the version that /bin/sh 3.0 requires, in order to
avoid that dreaded missing .dll dependency.
