Does anyone have this working? I am seeing no information about it, and ran into a road block when trying to do it myself. Something about failed to initialize the virtualization engine or something.
[Q] Genymotion on windows 10
- Thread starter JustusIV
- Start date
VirtualBox
My problem is that I can't get VirtualBox to install. It gets 3/4 way through installing, then "rolls back" and tells me there was a fatal error.
The problem as of current is the install of network virtual adapters on non-beta in Virtualbox. As genymotion completes install with the no V.B. install. And I don't blame the folks for waiting for Windows 10 to be final and stable before tackling it. You are beta testing Windows 10, as am I, So there really isn't a proper channel to apeal too. You should never install a beta OS on your main machine, at least not as the main OS, and expect everything to work smoothly. Im afraid to say it, but there is nothing we can do yet, just wait for M$ to straighten their end out, as it worked via build 10056, but M$ broke it after that. I am currently trying to get the beta Virtualbox to install via editing ORCA. I'll update when I have more.
Update
Virtualbox 5.0 beta 4 installs, no problem. However Genymotion refuses to see it installed as it is a beta, so until V.B. is finalized for 5.0, and Windows has been closer to completion, well see more. Whatever I tried in ORCA, I had no success. Ironically when Genymotion broke in Windows 10 build 10056, so did my sound but the most recent build, 10122, brought my sound back and allows VB betas to work but not the stable version.
if you want to try the beta for virtualbox 5.0 Beta 4 resides here :

Hi,
does this mean you installed the beta 4 on TP 10122 *with* the virtual network adapter without rollback?
Thank you, I will try the new beta.
I miss Genymotion too but I have a installed Win10 guest where I need the virtual bridge network (NAT is running ofc).

Sorry, but as expected the beta 4 wizard "ended prematurely" as before.
I had to reinstall VB without the virtual network bridge again.

For those interested, w10 build 10130 and genymotion (2.5 just launched today), still issues.

Virtualbox runs fine on Windows 10 build 10130. However genymotion seems to have problems initializing it. I believe this is a genymotion problem.
Well, i have "virtualization plugin not found" issue. It comes because of virtualbox can`t properly install "Host-only network adapter" driver on win10.
Sorry you are right about that. The problem is Virtualbox and host-only network adapter. I had created a VM in vbox and ran it so I thought it wasn't the problem.
What is really annoying is that it actually does create the adapter. If you go to Device Manger -> Network Adapters -> you will see Virtual box host-only adapters listed there.
So it's really close to working just something fails at the end of the process.

I was able to get genymotion working in Windows 10.
It is failing trying to create the host-only adapter, so you must do it yourself manually, and then it will use that.
- Run virtualbox as administrator
- Go to File -> Preferences -> Network -> Host Only Networks
- Add a new network. IP address 192.168.1.201, mask 255.255.255.0. Go to DHCP server and enable it. IP address 192.168.1.100, mask 255.255.255.0, lower bound 192.168.1.101, upper bound 192.168.1.199
- Save all and exit
- Now run genymotion.
It works!

Hello,
I can not add a new Host Only Networks on my PC. So I modified the existing network with same IP above but I can not run Genymotion.
I also tried to stop, start vboxdrv service (used sc.exe start vboxdrv on cmd) and it still was not success.
I restarted my PC many times and it still was not success too. But I saw that everytimes I run Genymotion, it had new network in Host Only Networks of VirtualBox. I think Genymotion didn't use my network that I configed before.
So I go to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings. I saw 2 VirtualBox Ethenet. I disabled once and configed the remain likes network in Host Only Networks of VirtualBox.
I run Genymotion again and it's works. I use Windows 10 Build 10162, Genymotion 2.5.0, VirtualBox-5.0.0_RC2. Please see my picture.
Sorry my English. Hope this help.
Thanks grennis .

Your solution sounds awesome but I can't figure out how to do it.
If you could please post a step by step instruction with screenshots (all the way from installing virtualbox). Or just record yourself doing it (screen recording), that would be purely amazing !!!
Thanks so much for your help

The idea is to setup a host-only network the way genymotion likes it whether you do it from vbox (run as administrator!) like I did, or from WIndows network settings like nguyenthanhhai did.. Then it won't try to create a new one. Give the adapter IP address 192.168.1.201, mask 255.255.255.0. Go to DHCP server and enable it. IP address 192.168.1.100, mask 255.255.255.0, lower bound 192.168.1.101, upper bound 192.168.1.199. I also have genymotion running just fine, this does work.
At least, Genymotion working on build 10162. Thank you very much grennis and nguyenthanhhai.
Thank you for your help.
Now I could at least start Genymotion player again and my virtual guests too.
But I have nowhere internet access.
How should I configure the Windows VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter, especially DSN-server and gateway?
I cannot use DHCP because of VMWare installed with an own DHCP-server.
I am running VB 5.0 RC3 and Genymotion 2.50.
Thank you.
