Pro - Don't prompt to upload file for virus scanning if it is too large

[flcdrg]

What You Are Seeing?

User gets prompted to upload file for virus scanning. After responding with 'Y', the upload fails because the file exceeds the upload size limit.

What is Expected?

Don't prompt user and then fail if we can tell in advance that it won't work.

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

Ran choco upgrade sql-server-management-studio -pre just after a new release of SSMS, such that it hadn't been scanned by any of the providers used by Virus Total.

Probably best to do. At least we prompt to let the user know that the file is too big. Checking it sooner and not even offering to upload would be more beneficial, I agree. 👍

This is done, but the release it falls under is different. Normally I'd have you reach out through support channels on this one.
