[Hub] Visual Studio is not selected as current External Script Editor when installing Unity together with Visual Studio 2019
Reproduction steps:
1. Open Unity Hub

3. Choose and Install Unity 2019.2.0b9 together with Visual Studio 2019
4. Open any Project and go to "Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "External Tools"
Expected result: "External Script Editor" dropdown has newly installed "Visual Studio 2019" as a current selection
Actual result: "External Script Editor" dropdown has "Open by file extension" as a current selection
Reproduces on: 2.0.3
Note:
- Before reproducing the issue, make sure all the Visual Studio versions are uninstalled and "devenv.exe" is not marked as current External Script Editor

Why is this marked as "by design" when the "actual result" does not match the "expected result"?? The "expected result" is what I would have expected...
