I just update Visual Studio 2017 to version 15.8.0, the one that I've been waiting for a while now, due to its support for Hyper-V accelerated Android emulators using Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX).
I've been running Windows 10 version 1803 since May, and I have installed/enabled Windows Hypervisor Platform from 'Turn Windows features on or off'. Also, I have updated Android SDK and tools as it's described in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/get-started/installation/android-emulator/hardware-acceleration.
However, when I run any of the accelerated emulators, I get an error:
We've encountered an error with your Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) configuration that is preventing us from running your emulator accelerated.
Please ensure WHPX is properly installed, then perform a factory reset on the emulator and try again.
No log and nothing else. Hence, I'm a bit confused and don't know what I should do next.
Appreciate any help.
P.S. Couple of clarifications:
- I tried both, resetting existing emulators and creating new ones.
- I run Hyper-V virtual machines and Docker containers on the same PC.

Maybe the Virtualisation is not enabled for your CPU from the BIOS menu. Boot to your BIOS and Enable Virtualisation. Also, install or reinstall these features on windows.
Kayvan KarimKayvan KarimI received this error even though I was already successfully running docker containers as well.
It turns out that I didn't have Windows Hypervisor Platform enabled in the 'Turn Windows Features On and Off' menu. Once I turned it on, the error disappeared.
I had both Hyper-V options enabled but not Windows Hypervisor Platform. I guess that one is not required to run docker containers.

Let's try to repair Windows Installer (I assume it was correctly iinstalled at some point or you would have had many problems installing other software). Let's try the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility at:http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml and see if that resolves the problem.
Windows Installer Is Not Correctly Installed Server 2012
If that doesn't work, what is the EXACT message you are getting about Windows Installer and when does it appear? When did the problem start? What version of Windows Installer are you using and which version has the problems? Was a new version recently installed and it is that new version with the problem? What version of Vista are you using (e.g., 32-bit Vista Business SP2)? What are you installing that requires Windows Installer and is causing this problem (name and version of that program)?
I hope this helps. Keep me informed and please answer all my questions in your next reply if necessary.
Thanks and good luck!
