Description
Hi all,
Looks like if you install a toolchain from an offline installer (from other install methods), you have to point to that install on the PATH. So if you have multiplexing and wanted to set a toolchain through the .cargo/bin folder, it doesn't list any installed toolchains.
The solution seems to be using a "symlinked local toolchain build", so I will give that a shot. But, I think if the toolchain from offline installers installs rustup, and then rustup doesn't know about the toolchain, that installation is not complete.

Research direction
Start by reproducing an offline-installer setup with rustup and a toolchain installed through another method, checking whether rustup lists it when the .cargo/bin directory is on PATH. The issue is resolved when the installed toolchain is recognized and can be selected through rustup without requiring a symlinked local toolchain build.
