Error on Install, not finding SSDT

in SQL Prompt
When I install or upgrade SQL Prompt, currently on 10.7, I get a message stating "Missing SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) Installation". I choose to continue with the install. This message is displayed twice. See first image below.
Visual Studio 2019, version 16.10.3, has SSDT installed. (second image)
Any idea why? SQL Prompt does not appear an the Visual Studio menu like it does in SSMS.

Thank you for your post. Can I ask you to try uninstalling SQL Prompt first, then modify VS and remove SSDT. Then re-add SSDT and try to reinstall SQL Prompt and let me know if you hit the same error.
Thanks for your response.
I have tried you suggestion and on the re-install of SQL Prompt I get the same error message.

Can I ask you to uninstall SQL Prompt once more and then use the Microsoft troubleshooter to install the newer version of SQL Prompt above?

Still no luck.
The Microsoft program didn't detect any issues. It doesn't detect the application unless it is already installed and the only option that it gave then was to uninstall the application.
To do so please se below:
<br>msiexec.exe /i "c:\path\to\files\SQLPrompt_10.7.1.22264_x86.msi" ALLUSERS=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL /norestart /L*V "c:\logfile.log"
Here is a download to the latest SQL Prompt installer:

Please also note that with VS SQL Prompt doesn't have a menu item like with SSMS. Instead when you open a SQL File in VS, the SQL Prompt tool will appear in the Extensions menu.
There does appear to be a few issues with folder locations written to the log file. Some of the folders listed do not exist on my drive. e.g., \Common7, could this have anything to do with it? See excerpt below.

There was a comment earlier about someone having the same issue but when they opened a SQL Query in VS SQL Prompt was still there and functioning. Can you check to see if that is the case for you after the installation?
SQL Prompt does appear to be working in both VS 2019 and SSMS. Ctrl+K Ctrl+Y will format the script and suggestions do appear.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have you visited our Help Center?
We've now removed the SSDT check from the installer (as of 10.8.4.24201), so this prompt will no longer be shown to users.
Thanks,
