how to install genymotion on vmware

Guys I've installed genymotion on virtual box provided with setup . now every time i want to start the virtual device I've to restart my laptop & sometimes even that doesn't help . So I've decided to install that on VMWare 11 . Can anyone help me please on this issue.

If anyone can solve this error which says can't connect to virtualbox ,That would be helpful also. But I still prefer solution with VMWare .

I've tried solution like DHCP server address solution which is suggested by official support site of genymotion , but that doesn't help also.

I've tried glew solution also but their support center doesn't accept log file(text) or image of error.

Snapshot of error :

I had the same issue, Genymotion can't be launched on a virtual machine! This is quoted from their faq:

Why doesn't Genymotion start from a virtual machine? Genymotion cannot be run from a virtual machine. Indeed, Genymotion needs a direct access to the hardware in order to provide OpenGL acceleration. Running Genymotion from a virtual machine prevents it to directly access the hardware components. Therefore, Genymotion is incompatible when installed from VMWare, Parallels, Hyper-V or VirtualPC.

About the problem with virtual box try the following steps: 1. Open Virtual box. Go to preferences. 2. Click on networks option. 3. Click on Host-only networks tab 4. Delete all host adapters. 5. Start Genymotion. It will automatically create a new network adapter with required settings. The above worked for me.
