I made a copy of launch, and used CPU Killer to slow down my system enough so that setup.exe stayed visible long enough for me to react. Then I renamed the copy of launch to 'launch' using the command prompt. Once that was done, the installer failed to rename setup.exe to launch because the filename already existed, so it stayed in the folder, unencrypted.
It worked for me, anyway - it might be worth a try next time, if it's important to you (it is to me).
The other game that gave me a problem was Space Rangers 2, but that was easy to solve. The installer actually copies setup.exe into the game directory, so it's just a matter of retrieving it.
While GamersGate is apparently pretty okay with this stuff, it still might not be a good idea to go into TOO much detail on these forums. It IS technically bypassing their copy-protection/DRM, which is not something we should discuss. But, more importantly, other people might not understand the special circumstances and think they can ask how to bypass Securom and the like.
