ZLS fails silently when Zig is missing

I installed both this extension and the official (?) zig extension (tiehuis.zig). I opened a zig file, and it gave me a popup, something like "hey, you don't have ZLS, wanna install it?". I clicked yes, and it did some stuff, but the language server stuff didn't work.

After going to the output log, it seems like ~~the installation~~ ZLS failed because I didn't have zig, which sounds legit - but I think the extension should give a loud error when ZLS fails to start (and maybe allow me to install zig as well).

The installation log:
