Intel Hardware Acceleration Manager (HAXM) Error in Visual Studio Installed on VMWare Machine when trying to Run the Android Emulator

You may receive this error while setting up a virtualized development environment for Visual Studio Android development and trying to run the Android emulator.  The error message will indicate in Android SDK Manager that HAXM is not compatible. The error is can be seen in the picture below:

In addition, when you try to download the HAXM software manually from the Intel site at https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager and run “installhaxm-android.exe”, you get a message that the Intel virtualization technology is not enabled. In some cases, this is due to Hyper-v Windows feature being enabled. You can try to disable it by going to Control Panel –> Programs –> Turn windows feature on or off and unchecking “Hyper-V” and try again.

If the emulator still doesn’t run, check and confirm that your host Virtualization technology is enabled in BIOS. If it is enabled, then update your VM settings after turning it off and editing the processor setting as indicated below:

Preferred Mode: “Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/WVI” (Automatic will not work)

Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V RVI = Checked

Note: The options are disabled as my VM is running at the moment. Smile

Hope it helps!
