Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Even though Azure Data Studio installation documentation recommends User installer mode group policy in our organisation prevents running of any executables. It's a same issue when Data Studio is downloaded as a zip file. Executable is prevented from running after extract due to group policy.

Describe the solution or feature you'd like Option to install and run Data Studio without admin rights when running and executables (.exe) is blocked by group policy.

Describe alternatives you've considered Download zip version of Azure Data Studio

Additional context Our organisation has blocked running executables unless they have been packaged in Software Centre. This prevents Azure Data studio from running for users without admin rights.

It would be great to be able to update Azure Data Studio in the same way as Visual Studio Code, which I can update myself without having to bother our IT team admins for each update.
