When I try to install Xamarin Android Player version 0.6.5.0

Error: 2203

The error starts when android player asks to install Virtual Box(which comes attached to the setup). First error is shown in Virtual Box installation and then in Xamarin Android Player installation.

I gave full access to temp folders which did not help.

  • Which version of VirtualBox do you have installed? Also what operating system are you using? – Coding with Cookie Jan 10 '16 at 23:40
  • I am using Windows 8.1 Pro and its virtual box something...4.3.1 I don't know what is the version exactly but its greater than 4.0.0 –  Jan 16 '16 at 06:20

    Have you tried downloading the latest version of VirtualBox directly? https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads – Coding with Cookie Jan 16 '16 at 06:44
  • well I have solved the problem by reinstalling the whole windows all over again and then install virtual box and android player but then I deleted them cause its was total garbage. As soon as I installed the program it messed up my network setting and uninstalled the Ethernet IPv4 protocol –  Jan 16 '16 at 06:47
  • It sounds like you encountered a problem with VirtualBox. Did it removed your IPv4 protocol during installation? Or when you tried to run Xamarin Android Player? – Coding with Cookie Jan 16 '16 at 06:55
  • yeah, now I think that too. I have a problem with virtual box cause I had some problems before too. –  Jan 16 '16 at 06:57
  • Were you able to use Xamarin Android Player at all before you removed it? – Coding with Cookie Jan 16 '16 at 07:02
  • nah cause virtual box setup or something comes with android player setup –  Jan 16 '16 at 07:10

Error 2203 is the windows error when you cannot access the default temporary folder in Windows (%temp%). A third-party program may restrict access to this folder, or there may not be sufficient permissions assigned to it.

Workaround:

  1. Open a command prompt with administrator permissions (cmd.exe)
  2. Create a new directory: Example: md c:\temp
  3. Set the temp folder location to the new temp folder set temp=c:\temp
  4. Start the Xamarin Android Player Installation

Download latest version: https://xamarin.com/android-player
