Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
I'd like to install Eclipse.Adoptium JDK or JRE with user scope. This doesn't seem to be supported currently:
C:\>winget install EclipseAdoptium.Temurin.17.JDK -e --scope user --logs
No applicable installer found; see logs for more details.
There is nothing specific in the logs. When I install with machine scope everything works.
Why is this feature important to me: I want to allow a group of users to automatically set up their development environment by just using plain Windows tools (not scoop or anything like that).
Setting the PATH or any other system wide setting would not be required for this use case. I would control the installation path with the --location parameter.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the mentioned winget install EclipseAdoptium.Temurin.17.JDK -e --scope user --logs command and inspect the EclipseAdoptium.Temurin package manifest entries. Compare the manifest metadata with the supported installer scope behavior. Done means the JDK or JRE package resolves and installs with --scope user without requiring machine-wide settings.
