Cannot connect to DuckDB database due to broken driver detection behind corporate Proxy.

Steps to Reproduce

Set a new DuckDB connection, and connect

Moving this across to the correct repo

I have logged the exception that causes the connection to fail.

exception duckdb-async 0.10.2 Error: Module did not self-register: '\\?\C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\vscode-sqltools\Data\node_modules\duckdb\lib\binding\duckdb.node'.

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? I have tried with several versions on nodejs and installed the module several times with no success.

This is the code to log the exception:

checkDependencies() {
....
                } catch (e) {
                  this.log.error(`exception ${dep.name} ${dep.version} ${e}`); // @hack
                  throw new missing_module_1.default(this.deps, this.credentials, mustUpgrade);
                }

See mtxr/vscode-sqltools#1362 (comment)

It would be great if this extension used @duckdb/node-api. From the README:

• Native support for Promises; no need for separate duckdb-async wrapper.

It's fairly unlikely I'll get the chance to migrate to the new API - I'm not really dedicating time to this project right now.
