Genymotion Google Nexus 6P 7.0.0 with Open_Gapps arm 7.0.0

Question

With Genymotion 2.8.0, I have installed Google Nexus 6P 7.0.0 device with API level 24. After launching the device, I have flashed the ARM Virtual translator and restarted the device. Then, I have download open_gapps from http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm64&api=7.0&variant=pico for playstore and other apps installation. By drag and dropping the open_gapps zip file into the device, it is getting copied to the SDcard download folder and not installing the google apps.

Please anyone suggest me where went wrong. Thanks in advance.

Same Issue I faced when tried to install both ARM & ARM64. May be they are not valid Gapps configured for Genymotion. But I tried my luck with 'gapps-L-4-21-15.zip' and it worked as expected. Some tweaks still needed with play services. Yet Play store and Maps working great. I hope it may work for you too. Download from : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891406

I have never once been able to get this working. I have wasted so much time on this. The file gets "successfully copied" and then nothing... I would kill for some pop up instruction like the instructions above say is suppose to happen.

Once you successfully copy the file (after a dialog contains something like "this is flashable zip..."), you need to restart the virtual device.
