Error during installing HAXM, VT-X not working
I am an entry-level Android software developer. I recently heard about HAXM that support emulator in rendering graphics more smoothly. I downloaded appropriate file HAXM file for Windows 7 64 bit, unpacked and started installing. However, during the installation process I get this error:
"This computer meets requirements for HAXM, but VT-x is not turned on..."
I checked many forum about this problem, including checking the version of BIOS and enabling Virtual Technology on BIOS. I followed the steps posted in the following forum:
However, I don't have any lines about Hyperlaunch and I could not find Hyper-V options in my Windows features. I don't have any idea how to solve this problem.
Answer
Even if you have enabled the Virtualization(VT) in BIOS settings, some antivirus options prevent HAXM installation.
For example: In Avast antivirus under Settings (parametres) tab > Troubleshooting (depannage), you should uncheck "Enable Hardware-assisted Virtualization" ("activer l'assistance a la virtualisation").
Now restart your computer and re-install the Intel's HAXM which can be found under ~SDK_LOCATION\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager. You can also manually download the standalone HAXM installer from Intel's website.
