64-bit .exe installer for windows has wrong default directory #24397

Closed

Description

The .exe installer tries to install to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Rust", even though it's the 64-bit version. It then fails to create the destination directory due to a permission error.

The .msi installer correctly defaults to "C:\Program Files\Rust ", and has no problems with permissions, I would expect the .exe installer to have the same behaviour.
