  <p>Has anyone else had this problem?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>I've downloaded the windows installer from the beta releases on <a href="http://android.xamarin.com/Releases/Mono_for_Android_1/Release_1.9.0" rel="nofollow">http://android.xamarin.com/Releases/Mono_for_Android_1/Release_1.9.0</a>. From there you can download the Visual Studio plugin directly. This shouldn't be the way to install the plugin but for an easy workaround it's good enough.</p>
