[.]             [..]            BOOKC.BIN
BOOKS.BIN       CRAFTY.EXE      CRAFTY.RC       BOOK.BIN

That's the edited Crafty directory of mine (there's other crap in there) but
just get those files from Bob's ftp, crafty.exe was renamed, and you'll have to
put together your own crafty.rc file (but you don't really need one) and you'll
have Crafty.  Now the trick is making it work in Winboard, not as hard as it
first seems, but if you get stuck with that there's plenty of good help
available at the Winboard forum http://f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/ (great
place!)

My opinion is that a Crafty setup program  would be contrary to the nature of
Crafty.
