With Genymotion 2.8.0, I have installed Google Nexus 6P 7.0.0 device with API level 24. After launching the device, I have flashed the ARM Virtual translator and restarted the device. Then, I have download open_gapps from http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm64&api=7.0&variant=pico for playstore and other apps installation. By drag and dropping the open_gapps zip file into the device, it is getting copied to the SDcard download folder and not installing the google apps.

Please anyone suggest me where went wrong. Thanks in advance.
