Windows – Installing Intel HAXM inside VirtualBox

intel-haxmvirtualboxvirtualizationvt-xwindows 7

I'm trying to install Intel Hardware Acceleration Execution Manager in a Windows 7 guest using VirtualBox.

When I run intelhaxm.exe to install it, I get the following error:

enter image description here

This isn't true, because my Windows guest is running with VT-X/AMD-V enabled, and my host machine supports is an Intel CPU with VT-X support.

How can I install this in my Windows guest machine?

So, you want nested virtualization with VT-x exposed to guest operating system.

It is possible on VMware since version 8 or 9 (I'm not sure about 8, if someone knows please post comment), but it seems to be not supported in VirtualBox (according to this still open feature request: link).
