That is an unsupported scenario. When 1.7 goes release, 1.5 will be left only as a courtesy to 9x users. There will be only one setup.exe binary. That setup.exe will install 1.7 on NT-based machines and 1.5 on 9x-based machines. You won't have the choice unless you use an old setup.exe... which is unsupported.
