macos - Android Studio Update Error on OSX Yosemite

Question

When I check for updates in Android Studio (1.0.1) it says there is an updates available (1.0.2), but shows this error:

Android Studio does not have write access to /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents. Please run it by a privileged user to update.

When I try and open it as root, I get an error saying files are missing and it can't start up.

How am I supposed to update with these errors? Should I have installed it as a non-privileged user to start with?

EDIT: I STOPPED GETTING THIS ERROR SEVERAL VERSIONS AGO.
