I use:

  • Windows 7

  • Android Studio 1.3.2

  • Genymotion 2.5.4
  • VirtualBox 5.0.4r

Yesterday, it run correctly. However my C disk is run out of space so i decided to uninstall Andriod Studio, Genymotion and VB. Now I installed it in disk E and i show problem

Genymotion: Genymotion directory: E:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion

Genymotion: Trying to initialize engine

Genymotion: Invalid path: VBoxManage

Genymotion: Initialize Engine: failed

I already tried some solutions from same topic but not work so far, seem like my case is different. Any one have same issue? Any suggestion? Thanks

Can you run virtual device from Genymotion? If so, is it visible as device after clicking 'Run' button? – Paweł Grześ

Using Windows 10 here, same issue, added the VirtualBox binary directory to the system path and it still failed, so it's not obvious what exactly it's looking for. But I do have Android Studio in a non-standard location too -- I think it's likely that there's a hardcoded relative path in there that's cracking on use. May not be a fix except to reinstall Android Studio where it wants to go...

However, per another answer, if you can start the image in Genymotion the Debug button will be able to see it and connect to it and you can maybe live without the integrated Genymotion device manager until they fix this.

Maybe the file "reg.exe"(in X:\Genymotion) lose, you must get it from genymotion-2.5.3-vbox.exe

I am having the same issue, and while searching I come across this post here that says the plugin (at least for eclipse) doesn't work with Virtual Box version newer than 4.2. I am not sure if this will help but it is worth looking in to.

EDIT:: There was an update to Android Studio to 1.4 and an update to the Genymotion plugin to 1.0.6. It fixes this issue. I updated yesterday and it works like a charm.
