Genymotion Invalid path: VBoxManage and Initialize Engine: failed

I use:

  • Windows 7

  • Android Studio 1.3.2

  • Genymotion 2.5.4
  • VirtualBox 5.0.4r

Yesterday it works correctly. However, there is not enough space on my C drive, so I decided to remove Andriod Studio, Genymotion and VB. Now I installed it on drive E and I will show the problem

Genymotion: Genymotion directory: E: \ Program Files \ Genymobile \ Genymotion

Genymotion: attempt to initialize the engine

Genymotion: Wrong Way: VBoxManage

Genymotion: Initialize Engine: failed

I already tried some solutions from the same topic, but haven’t worked yet, it looks like my case is different. Does anyone have the same problem? Any suggestion? Thanks

Using Windows 10 here, the same problem, added the VirtualBox binary directory to the system path, and it still failed, so it is unclear what exactly it is looking for. But I also have Android Studio in a non-standard location - I think it is likely that there is a hard-coded relative path that hacks its use. There can be no fix, except to reinstall Android Studio, where he wants to go ...

However, for another answer , if you can run the image in Genymotion, the Debug button will be able to see it and connect to it, and you can live without the integrated Genymotion device manager until they fix it.

Perhaps the file "reg.exe" (in X: \ Genymotion) will lose, you should get it from genymotion-2.5.3-vbox.exe

I have the same problem, and when searching, I come across this message here , which says that the plugin (at least for eclipse) does not work with Virtual Box version higher than 4.2. I'm not sure if this will help, but it is worth a look.

EDIT :: There is an update for Android Studio 1.4 and an update to the Genymotion plugin to version 1.0.6. He fixes this problem. I updated yesterday and it works like a charm.
