title: Cannot update Xamarin for Visual Studio
body: <p>I had to re-install my PC recently, and I re-installed VS2015 Community. And then I installed Xamarin from www.xamarin.com/download</p>
  
  <p>I get the following notice whenever I open visual studio </p>

  <p>Although when I click it nothing happens. It just disappears.</p>
  
  <p>Previously on my old version, I had Xamarin Studio, where i could go in, and check for updates, which would also update Xamarin for VS2015. But for the life of me I cannot find a download for Xamarin Studio anymore, I am assuming it got discontinued since Microsoft takeover in order to force use of Visual Studio?</p>
  
  <p>I have downloaded both Xamarin Installer (which also always shows that the VS 2015 Xamarin plugin is missing). But when it goes to install it, it starts some sort of setup/installer which then disappears and it takes me to the Xamarin developers page and shows successful.</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried installing/forcing an update via the "vstoolsforxamarin.exe" VS2015 installer, but no luck. C#/Xamarin is installed and won't update from there :-(.</p>
  
  <p>I can see the XamarinInstaller installs the following version of Xamarin.VisualStudio:</p>
