Unable to run Intel HAXM installer: Cannot start process, the working directory does not exist

Question

How to resolve this error which I am getting while installing HAXM installer.

Unable to run Intel HAXM installer: Cannot start process, the working directory 'C:\Users\surabhi\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelarated_Execution_Manager does not exist.

I also tried to download HAXM installer directly from Intel's website but couldn't succeed and I have also tried enabling and disabling Hyper-V.

Answer 1

My tiny contribution: I had the same problem, I then tried to install from the SDK tools, it said it was installed and when I tried to run the emulator it said that HAXM was missing. At least from the SDK tools, the folder was created. Tried to install it many times with no success. Then I went to the folder indicated (...\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelarated_Execution_Manager) and ran the installer manually and it worked.

In case this may help anyone

Answer 2

It's because the downloaded installer might be missing. So download it again.

Instead of trying to install inside AVD Manager install from SDK Manager.

Android Studio -> Tools -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools -> Check Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator(HAXM Installer) and Click Apply, it will start download and install.

When you try to run the emulator from the AVD manager, you'll probably notice that there is an alert to install the intel HAXM, try to install it by just clicking install, if you are able to run the emulator, congratulation! you did solve problem.

If not you may have to install it manually by going into the following path:

C:\Users\$user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

Just replace $user with your. You'll find the installation file so run it.

Congratulation!
