I can't update to the beta versions of VS for mac. I'm on a Macbook Pro 2019, MacOS 10.14.6, which I updated to because I had the problem on the previous version as well.

I've followed the instructions at

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/mac/updater-troubleshooting?view=vsmac-2019

but that didn't help. Is there something else I can do/check?

My VS for Mac is:

do you get an error? can you post some screenshots? – Emil
unfortunately the only error I get is a message box to inform me that the installtion failed. Typical Xamarin fare, really. – Matt Jacobsen
I dont have mac in front of me now but there is under help menu somewhere "logs", you may find something there – Emil
There's an update.log, but it now lists the successful update and nothing else. I'll have a poke around in the directory. Thanks for that. – Matt Jacobsen

Fortunately/unfortunately, the problem seems to have resolved itself. It seems the installer got over itself and managed to do its job. Not very satisfying, I know.

I'll leave the question up, in the hope that someone can point me to an error log/explanation.
