Ah good catch! Fixed in 1897772.

Thanks folks - LGTM - and agreed, as .exe is something we normally drop 
in examples for compatibility, documentation, interoperability, and 
standardization reasons!

Thanks for doing this, looks great!

One small thing, the command for 64-bit is 'setup-x86_64' while the command
for 32-bit is 'setup-x86.exe'. I think we should have it the same way for
both. Since the file extension is not need on Windows, I'd suggest remove
.exe from 32-bit.

Kind regards,
