What is this "silent_install_wrapper.bat" program?

Question

Windows 10 just opened a Permissions Dialog Box with the following text:

Verified Author: Microsoft Windows

Program Path:
"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /C
"C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\silent_install_wrapper.bat"
-log C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\haxm_log.txt -m 2048 > 
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\haxm_out.txt
2> C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\haxm_err.txt

Does anyone know what this silent_install_wrapper.bat file does on the system?

I was in the process of downloading the Android Studio Sdk, so it is likely related to that. However, I cannot find any trace of those files on my system and the Dialog Box closed itself after a few minutes. Was that something important?

Answer 1

HAXM is Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager, I guess Android Studio SDK tried to install it.

"Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel® HAXM) is a hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor) that uses Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) to speed up Android* app emulation on a host machine. In combination with Android x86 emulator images provided by Intel and the official Android SDK Manager, Intel HAXM allows for faster Android emulation on Intel VT enabled systems."

If it isn't installed try installing it manually.

The emulator should work without haxm but it'll be a lot slower.
