How do I obtain & install the TraceParts EasyDesign applet for DSMv5? FIXED

As a newbie DS user I was following the in-app tutorial given in DSMv5. I am stuck at the stage to learn importing 3D CAD models direct into a design. The tutorial appears to be out of date according to the helpdesk article in;

https://designspark.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/211321389-What-are-my-download-import-options- 

If I follow the article to hit the 'Insert into design' button it still fails, presumably because the TraceParts EasyDesign applet is not installed. No applet install prompt (like the one shown as text within a light-blue stripe in the support article's graphic) is displayed in DSMv5. The only prompt I get to install anything is from Windows 10 via it's App Store! I cannot locate a means to download or install this applet anywhere (in DS, DSMv5, RS, Zendesk, Traceparts website, Google, etc.).

Please could anyone advise me of the correct procedure. Thankyou in anticipation.

P.S. I can successfully download the part's CAD file, un-Zip it and drag the X.rsdoc file into the Design.
