Installing Xamarin for VS 2015 not working

Question

I recently installed VS 2015 Enterprise. Im trying to add Xamarin for VS from the setup menu, and when downloading it just hangs at this point for hours and eventually says an error was encountered. This is my 5th installation attempt. I dont have any other VS version installed on my machine.

Answer 1

Try this :

1. Download Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 and install from the following link: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL999?locale=en_US

2. Then activate bonjour service in win10. Refer to: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7420758?start=0&tstart=0

3. Then you can re-install VS to see if it works.

By the way, that's an open bug .

Answer 2

Have you tried to install it by downloading the kit from xamarin.com? What do you mean by "from the setup menu"?
