Android Studio upgrade automatic to 2.1 from 1.5 won't work

Ever since version 2.0 there is no way that I can get the button "Update and Restart" back when checking for updates. This missed button downloaded and applied automatically the patch to the newer version. It stopped working when 2.0 came to be. I am currently on 1.5, and would like to get 2.1 but not downloading the zip.

Now all I get is this, which forces me to download the zip file, but doesn't install the application. I have seen other posts related but none of them have solved my problem.

Steps to install Android Studio from a .zip folder:

If you have Windows:

  1. Open the .zip folder using Windows Explorer.
  2. Click on 'Extract all' (or 'Extract all files') option in the ribbon.
  3. Enter any extract location you like. Extract them.
  4. Go to the extract location. Go to android-studio\bin and run studio.exe.
  5. Go through the installation wizard. You are done

If you have any other OS:

  1. Go here or here (the second link is preferred).
  2. If you chose the first link then run application and unzip your folder. If you chose the second link then upload your file, get it unzipped and download it.
  3. Go to the extract/download location. Go to android-studio\bin and run the studio executable for your OS.
  4. Go through the installation wizard. You are done.

My Android Studio was 1.5.1. After closing the dialog 2 times and checking again for the update solved the issue. Got the "Update and Restart" button 3rd time

In my case I just had to close that dialog and click again on Check for Updates until 'Update and Restart' appeared. I had to re open the dialog like 3 times. I had 1.5.1 and updated to 2.1.1

There was no Update and restart button from 1.5 to 2.0. You need to go to download page and download the newest version --> 2.1. If you had a version 2.0 and you want to upgrade to 2.1, the functionality of downloading & restarting would be fully operational.

The differences between 1.5 and 2.0 are too major just to download a patch and update your old Android Studio. Here you have all revisions and changes.

You can still add your settings from the previous Android Studio, so there should be no problem for you.
