Once installed, launch it from the Start Menu: This is totally free and doesn’t require a Visual Studio/MSDN subscription. I’ve tried this on my machine development machine (i7 5960x, 32GB RAM) and a lower-end test machine (i5 2400, 12GB RAM) and both work perfectly with no lag.įirst, you’ll want to download the Visual Studio Emulator for Android from here: This guide assumes you already have Hyper-V installed, and that you have a fairly powerful machine. Personally, I don’t like it as it’s very invasive and the service that it installs kept crashing but YMMV. Note: if you’re in this just to run Android apps on your pc and you’re not a developer, you might want to consider BlueStacks ( Google Bing it). I did however, have a Windows tablet with an internet connection to my development machine which does have an Android device, albeit a virtual one! Run the VM.Recently I was in a situation where I needed to demonstrate an Android App to a client, but didn’t have an Android device with me.vmx file in notepad and ad the following lines: This a fairly common error and once that is easy to fix. The Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine 'VS Emulator 5-inch KitKat (4.4) XXHDPI Phone.bob' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running (Virtual machine ID 889F3EA2-7B0E-4873-9180-C765E4293D4E). Something happened while starting a virtual machine: 'VS Emulator 5-inch KitKat (4.4) XXHDPI Phone.bob' failed to start. The emulator is unable to verify that the virtual machine is running:
VS2015 worked fine but the new shiny Android emulator wasn't so happy. When Visual Studio 2015 was released, I built a new VM and installed everything. Emulator that themselves rely on a virtual machine are problematic.
However not everything works inside a virtual machine :(. It makes it much easier to to back up and transfer my dev environments.
