rls-vs2017: MSVS does not prompt for RLS install

Platform is x86 64-bit Windows 10 MSVC MSVS 2017. Installed as per instructions at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DanielGriffen.Rust#overview When I open a Rust folder, then a Rust source file, nothing special happens, apart from the source being displayed in the edit window.

>rustup component list | find "installed"
rls-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc (installed)
rust-analysis-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc (installed)
rust-src (installed)

Am I missing something obvious?

It seems this report might be relevant here, thanks:

I have Visual Studio 2019 but get this error message from the Rust extension, even though rustup is in the path (i.e. accessible and working fine from every folder on my desktop): “could not start the rls: rustup is not installed or not on the path.” I’ve tried uninstalling and re-installing the extension, but it does not solve the issue. I have the correct path to rustup in tools, options, rust, language server, and have “stable” under “toolchain to use.”
