Visual Studio update 3 installer is trying to install update 2 instead

.NET Core 1.0.0 was released yesterday and it needs VS update 3 to be installed.

So I downloaded the installer from here and tried installing but this weird issue is happening:

It's as if the installer is trying to get update 2 instead of update 3. I'm already on update 2 and it's telling me that. I tried searching but didn't find anything on the subject. Also tried restarting my machine.

And now I'm being blocked by this since I already uninstalled .NET Core RC2, and .NET Core 1.0.0 doesn't want to install before VS update 3.

How do I know if I have Visual Studio 2015 update 3?

Start the Visual Studio Installer, and verify that Help > About shows version 14.0. 25431 or greater. Examine the installed updates list in Control Panel, and verify that both Visual Studio 2015 update 3 (KB3022398) and the update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (KB3165756) are present.

Forget the downloaded update, just go to Programs and Features, double click Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 and choose "Modify" from the VS installer options. Update 3 will be available there.
