This helped me to resolve the similar error :

  • Delete the c:\ProgramData\XamarinAndroidPlayer folder, before reinstalling.
  • Edit the installeddevices.json files and replace the content with {'machines':[]} to avoid re-installation and to clear all the devices listed.
  • You'd probably also want to clear out the device vdi folders too.

Solution by @SunnyOkoroAwa after a small discussion.

  • After the installation of the files I listed above.
  • Navigate to Network Connections in Control Panel.
  • Right click on Virtual Box Host-Only Network.
  • Select Properties.
  • Check the option VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridge Networking Driver.
  • Reconnect the network.

  • I observed that when I uninstalled the 64 bit version, I seem not to find the folder path 'c:\ProgramData\XamarinAndroidPlayer' and even any json file. – Sunny Okoro Awa May 18 '16 at 10:06
  • @SunnyOkoroAwa, Don't know very well in that case. My problem is with `installeddevices.json`. The second step helped me. – Yksh May 18 '16 at 10:23
  • let me finish the process first, I will keep you posted it. I have installed XAP, reinstalling VM VirtualBox at the moment. – Sunny Okoro Awa May 18 '16 at 11:21
  • I have uninstalled both and setup files and reinstalled but still yet, have same problem. – Sunny Okoro Awa May 18 '16 at 12:07

  • This link worked for me. I had to CHECK Virtual NDIS6 Bridged Networking driver for it to come up. Thanks @Vaikesh. – Sunny Okoro Awa May 18 '16 at 13:07

  • After the installation of the files I listed above, I had to go to My 'Network Connections' in my control panel, found the Connection named 'Virtual Box Host-Only Network', right clicked it and went to the properties and CHECKED the option 'VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridge Networking Driver' and reconnected. This fixed it for me. – Sunny Okoro Awa May 18 '16 at 13:31
