title: Is it possible to run Android Device Emulator (via Android Studio 2) on VMWare?
body: <p>I have been running Android Studio 1.5.1 doing development on a WMWare copy of Windows 2012 R2 and everything works fine.  I've been able to run the device emulator with no problems and start various versions of Android running in AVD.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Android Studio 2.x Change</strong>
  I recently installed Android Studio 2.0 (see image below for exact version).</p>

  <p>Now when I attempt to run the emulator nothing happens.
  Well, actually I do see a message in the status bar of Studio when I attempt to start the device, but then that message disappears and nothing happens after that.  </p>

  <p>There is a warning that I need to turn off Hyper-V (see image below), but I don't believe that is possible since this is a VM.</p>
  
  <p><strong>No Longer Possible?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Is it not possible to run the emulator on the VM any more?  </p>
