Continue Visual Studio 2015 installation of features

I recently added the required components for creating universal apps for Windows 10 in Visual Studio 2015. However, I didn't have the time to finish the installation. The installation was cancelled successfully and I was met with a message like this: '52 of 58 components was successfully installed.'.

I didn't get any information on how to continue this process. Is there any way of continuing the installation? I've tried looking around in Visual Studio 2015, and I can't find any place to do this. I also tried downloading the emulators again, because that's the one that didn't finish. I then get a message which says I need to uninstall an already installed version of the Windows 10 emulators.

The original installation was triggered through Visual Studio when I tried to choose 'Universal'. It didn't have any of the templates available and said it needed to install the SDK. I was then met with the sweet checkbox GUI (it looks just like this) where I chose what to install.

Is there any way to get back into this GUI, or, are the any way of continuing this installation?

If you download the installer again and run it, there should be a "modify" option I believe. From there you can add features you wish via the checkbox screen you mentioned.

UPDATE: This can be remedied by using "change" within programs and features. From then you can modify the installation to add necessary features. (See comments for more details)
