codeblocks-20.03mingw-setup does not autodetect included compiler

Hello,

I downloaded `codeblocks-20.03mingw-setup.exe` from https://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Binaries/20.03/Windows/codeblocks-20.03mingw-setup.exe and clicked through the installer. After the installation finished I opened Code::Blocks, but in the compiler selection screen no compiler was detected. I proceeded and created a new project, but as expected, compilation failed because `Tried to run compiler executable 'C:\MinGW/bin/mingw32-gcc.exe', but failed!`.

MinGW seems to have been correctly installed in `C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW`, so this seems to be a compiler detection issue.

This is a fresh install on Windows 10 1909 64bit.
C::B version: 20.03-r11983

I followed http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,23738.msg161976.html#msg161976 and compiler detection worked as expected, but I still consider it a bug and hope that it will take less that 2 years to get fixed.  :)
