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


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

Chloe@xps ~
$ icacls 'c:\cygwin\setup.exe'
