VS2015 Preview: Installing the Android emulator

Question

I've just installed VS2015 Preview and afterwards it gave me the option of installing additional software, including the Android Emulator. Unfortunately the company network went down before the download completed so the installation failed, and it didn't give me an option to retry.

Where can I download the emulator, or how can I relaunch the setup for Additional Software?
