When I run XAP-Beta-15.35-v0.5.5-i386 I get the following error:

  

virtualbox kernel driver not running

No driver has been installed in the virtualbox and it is not running.

According to the post in the xamarin forum and can be resolved as mentioned by the mridoni :

  

I used this link (I made a couple of attempts to "rewrite" it by hand, starting from the link for 0.4.4):

The problem is that since the emulator (v0.5.5) does not start at all, it never prompts to upgrade from 0.5.5 to 0.5.6. I suppose that if you completely uninstall, then install 0.4.4 (the version available from XAP's main page), then you can upgrade successfully.

This means that the problem occurs in version 0.5.5, but does not occur in 0.5.6, so just do the updgrade.

  • Version 0.5.6 for Windows 32bit:

  • Version 0.5.6 for Windows 64bit:

Note, the current version is 0.6.5, so if you can upgrade to   this (see their compatibility and etc):

     
  • Windows 64bit:

  • install the most recent version of XAP (0.5.6)

  • If your windows is 8.1 or 10 download on the Oracle website the last one version of VM Virtual Box (version installed by XAP is incompatible)

  • When installing the new version of VM Virtual Box make sure it has installed the drivers

  • Check your firewall or anti-virus if they did not block the process from running (hard to do but it does not cost anything to try)
