Genymotion “Unable to create virtual machine: failed to import ova file”

emulationgenymotionvirtual machine

I know this question has been asked before but I have tried the answers listed here and here but nothing changed. I tried to re-install Genymotion and VirtualBox and run Genymotion as administrator, but nothing.

My problem is always the same: when I try to deploy a virtual device, Genymotion fails with the error message: "Unable to create virtual device: failed to import OVA file". Does anyone know of any solutions?

My specs:
OS – Windows 8.1
CPU – Intel Core i3 @ 2.3Ghz (quad-core)
RAM – 6GB DDR3
Disk – 500GB (with 400 GB left)

It's simple. Open Genymotion with Run as Administrative(Administrative privilege)
