Unable to install Intel HAXM for Android Studio

Question

Intel HAXM is a prerequisite for compiling Android Studio code. When I try to install it through the SDK manager, it downloads fine, but while installing, says:

HAXM installation failed. To install HAXM follow the instructions found at: https://software.intel.com/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-windows

So I did the same and downloaded the files from GitHub. I followed the instructions, but when I try to build the .sln file, there is another error: Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State

Error MSB8020 The build tools for WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0 (Platform Toolset = 'WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0') cannot be found. To build using the WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0 build tools, please install WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution". haxm-core C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets 390

Please guide me what I should do. I would be grateful if someone can compile the file for me....

The message

Error MSB8020 The build tools for WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0 (Platform Toolset = 'WindowsKernelModeDriver10.0') cannot be found.

means you have not installed the Windows 10 WDK. But you don't need to compile it on your own, simply install the last version haxm-windows_vVERSION.zip .

You can also try Hyper-V Platform if you get HAXM issues.
