My own processor supports virtualisation:

I think i have activated it also in my bios settings.

And it is the info page of my processor of the vmware virtual machine i use (9.0.2 build-1031769)

Still, when i try to install Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager in order to start my android virtual devices, i take the following error:

I simply had to check 'virtualize intel vt-x/ept or amd-v/rvi' in my machine settings.

Enable Intel VT Virtualization

    This now works for VMware Workstation starting with version 12/12.5. (my answer predates VMware exposing the same feature in VM settings) – Smiley Barry Aug 17 '17 at 14:11

Are you trying to install that in a VM? Nested virtualization isn't enabled out-of-the-box, VMware clients (Player & Workstation) have supported it for a while now. (And it looks like your CPU is new enough to support it well)

Shut the VM down, close the VMware application & add the following line to your .vmx file:

vhv.enable = "TRUE"

(If Workstation/Player later complains about the vmx being corrupted, your version doesn't support it. Remove the line to fix the file.)

VMware hypervisors support it so that you could test ESXi out in a local Workstation machine. However, it's also known to work for other virtualization OSes. (I used it for Hyper-V in Windows 8.1 so I could develop Windows Phone apps without upgrading my Windows 7 workstation)

  • This worked for me when trying to run an Android emulator inside an OSX VMware image running on Windows 10 host machine. – DaveAlden May 03 '17 at 12:37
  • This worked for me inside an OSX VMWare image running on Linux Mint 18.2 host machine. It went from complaining that HAXM is not supported to letting me download install HAXM. Unfortunately the emulator is still mind numbingly, soul crushingly, career devastaingly slow. – pbnelson Aug 17 '17 at 04:04

I think this error occurs when Virtual Technology (VT-x) is not enabled in the BIOS settings. You should go to the BIOS menu & enable it to create Virtual Device
