I get an error messa

Answer 1

just delete the file in your ova and it should fix it, thats what i did, no need to run program under admin or anything. didnt delete my deployed files either. (I was trying to create new virtual machines not open them)

Answer 2

In case someone is using Mac OSX YOSEMITE or earlier. Follow this post. It worked for me. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1196027

Run these two command in Terminal:

sudo chmod 755 /Applications

sudo chmod 755 /Applications/Virtualbox.app

Took me hours to get it to work!

Answer 3

I solved the issue myself by deleting all old devices (the folders of previously made devices) from my .android/avd folder.

Answer 4

I solved this problem on windows setting up sdk path in configuration option.

Answer 5

I had the same problem, i solved it by:
1 - i uninstall virtual box
2 - i uninstall genymotion with all new folder that dependency
3 - download latest version of virtual box(from oracle site)
4 - download latest version of Genymotion(without virtual box version
size:about42M)
5 - first install virtual box
6 - install genymotion
7 - before run genymotion you should restart your windows os
8 - run genymotion as admin
Sorry for my english writing
I'm new to learn :D

Answer 6

I just ran into this problem too, so just in case anyone needs it: The reason why it needs admin privileges is probably because of your settings on where it store the virtual device.. Go to Settings - Virtual Box - and change your virtual devices storage area. I got mine set to something like \Program Files\Genymotion, that's why it needs Admin privileges. I only blanked the field, clicked ok, and it got set to the default which is in my home directory.. After that no need to run as admin anymore..
