It wasn't clear to me either. Unfortunately, the extension seems to have a dependency on the Android NDK which I don't plan to install:

  Today we do have a dependency on the Android Tools for Visual Studio

The NDK dependency is actually to get the MIEngine that provides the machine interface to hook up GDB with the VS debugger. We're looking at making the MIEngine a separate component so the Android, iOS and Linux tools don't have a dependency on each other.
Had to boot Linux to expand my NTFS partition to have enough space to install it all - hoping it's something for Update 3 or before.
Oh weird, huh this must be more fallout from the canceling of Astoria that they're spinning off into a standalone thing.
