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

enter image description here

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?

  • I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because its not related to programming, rather more, a networking issue where download fails. – t0mm13b Apr 13 '16 at 22:48
  • I'm guessing the download doesn't fail, it's simply that it is not behaving as @Sauron expected. – Graph Apr 13 '16 at 22:49
  • @Graph, correct, but given it;s 23.0, this is necessary... – Sauron Apr 13 '16 at 22:54
  • @Sauron sorry, but I don't understand. What is necessary? – Graph Apr 13 '16 at 22:59
  • @Graph, Im sorry, I meant to say, that given it's version 2.0, the full download may be necessary – Sauron Apr 13 '16 at 23:00
  • @Sauron it is. In my answer below, I am giving some instructions that just helped me with this issue. – Graph Apr 13 '16 at 23:01

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.
