What does this sentence mean?

I would like to setup a meeting with you when I'm in town.

I'm trying to say that I'm coming to your city and would like to setup a meeting with you so we can meet when I'm in your city.

"Setup" is a noun. You need the verb "set up".

Yours is ambiguous. It's not clear whether you are going to arrive in town and then set up a meeting, or if you wish to set up a meeting now for the time when you are in town (in the future).

I suppose someone could argue that you will "set up" ( note that it's two words) the meeting when you're in town and actually hold it virtually once you have returned, but people need more common sense.

You can remove the ambiguity by saying "for when when I'm in town."
