Azure Devops Exception when not using ADO

[MarkRx]

In a locked down container environment (a security practice where all files are read only within a container and only volumes can be written to) a server fails to boot due to an ADO error even when not using ADO. It appears to be because ADO attempts to write ./azure-devops on during initialization.

Fix could be to enhance the delayed exception handling to handle any exception then rethrow it here

Looks like I can workaround this by setting AZURE_DEVOPS_CACHE_DIR to a bogus volume that the execution user has write access to. code
