But if wmp11.exe and the manual way works why you want to use setup_wm.exe?!?

Maybe this is your problem:

If you have a look into wmp11.exe you will see that there is a control.xml which setup_wm.exe assumes in C:\DOCUME~1\SUPER-~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\tmp41546.WMC but if you have extracted wmp11.exe the file only exists in your extracted directory and not in your temp-directory.

So I think that setup_wm.exe wants to download the file - maybe there are more errors because setup_wm.exe don't find it files.

I bet that's the problem. OK.

I'm only looking to do it this way so I can reduce the file size as much as I can.
