can't run genymotion plugin in eclipse

Question

I receive error Exception (VBoxManage): java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program Files\Genymobile/reg": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified when I try to run genymotion eclipse plugin. What is wrong? I am using x64 windows 8.1

Answer 1

You will need to set the correct path to Genymotion installation directory on eclipse.

The default path on windows is C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion

Have a look at Genymotion eclipse plugin guide: https://cloud.genymotion.com/page/doc/#collapse8

Answer 2

Change the folder name, run again the launcher in eclipse and select the real folder, in my case "C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion"

Answer 3

The problem is space in "C:\Program Files\Genymobile". I would try to use "C:\Progra~1\Genymobile/reg" path if it can be configured. Another option is to move to location w/o space in path.

Answer 4

I was getting same error.

I was getting the wrong folder, its not only .../Genymobile . Its is ...Genymobile/Genymotion

Answer 5

I had this problem because I didn't first download and install Genymotion. I just installed the plugin from the Eclipse installation window and expected it to work. Dumb me.

Answer 6

I was get the same error. The directory of genymotion is C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion/reg not C:\Program Files\Genymobile/reg.

You can copy all files from C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion\ to C:\Program Files\Genymobile

Then it works well.

Answer 7

It seems like this error is caused by invalid path to Genymotion, but actually it is caused by a bug that does not let Genymotion plugin work with VirtualBox later than 4.2

To fix this error all you need to do is go here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_2 and download the 4.2 version of VirtualBox for your OS. Once you reinstall it - the error is gone and Genymotion plugin opens device list properly
