Android Studio 2.0 does not start download

I wish update Android Studio to 2.0. However, in the Tools-> Check for Updates section:

Selecting Updates, displays:

enter image description here

Selecting Download (in the top image) redirects to: http://tools.android.com/download/studio/canary/latest/, so that I can install a .zip with a seperate IDE, instead of simply downloading within Android Studio.

I do not wish to download and install a second separate IDE. In the past, this feature simply downloaded the new version and merged with the old.

What needs to be configured to get this to work?

Solution

  • This is correct behavior. Some updates cannot be directly patched and you need to download and replace Android Studio with the latest release. You should:

    • Download the .zip file that you see in the page
    • Unzip the downloaded file wherever you want
    • Run the /bin/studio(64).exe file
    • Import the settings
    • Remove the old Android Studio directory
    • Move the extracted dir to where the old Android Studio was installed
    • Maybe optional: Rename it (maybe it was named android-studio) to "Android Studio"

    Hope this helps, I have just done the same.
