Description
If I download this file:
https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe
and run I get this result by default:
Current installation options:
default host triple: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
default toolchain: stable
modify PATH variable: yes
However if I download this file:
https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/rustup-init.exe
and run I get the same result. With GNU RustUp why is it not setting GNU ABI for
the default host triple?

Research direction
Reproduce the reported behavior with the x86_64-pc-windows-msvc and x86_64-pc-windows-gnu rustup-init.exe downloads, then trace how the installer selects its default host triple. Done means the GNU executable suggests x86_64-pc-windows-gnu while the MSVC executable continues to suggest x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.
