Ballerina is installed by default into C:\Program Files\Ballerina but this folder needs admin permissions to be modified.
While the first installation automatically asks the user for admin permissions, running bal dist update does not. For me, it always throws this error when not running in an admin terminal:
$ bal dist update
ballerina: permission denied: you do not have write access to 'C:\Program Files\Ballerina'
Then, I have to use another Terminal, which I start with admin permissions, which is quite inconvenient.

It would be great if bal dist update also asks for admin permissions instead of just failing to install in a non admin terminal.
