The commands run fine on my system. Did you run them from a Cygwin bash prompt?
win32-setup.sh runs under bash, not cmd.exe. Using spaces-enclosed-in-quotes vs
spaces-preceded-by-backslashes _shouldn't_ make a difference.
Sorry for the delay Gerald, this is what I get if I run the commands from a Cygwin bash prompt:
bash-3.2$ ./regtool get /HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet\ Settings/ProxyEnable
1
bash-3.2$ ./regtool get /HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet\ Settings/ProxyServer
<the proxy setting from IE settings, that is hostname.domain:proxyport>
