Hi, i download and mount the ISO with MagicISO, i dont see a EXE extension.

I have windows 7,

i download this aplication because i dont have Hyper-V.

I tried to use Android Studio and i receive this message "intel haxm is required to run this avd. vt-x is disabled in bios"

Right - there is no "setup.exe" because ESXi also called vSphere is no application that you can run on your Windows 7.
Regard it rather as a completely different operating system. You can not run ESXi AND Windows 7 on your computer.
You can replace your Windows 7 with the ESXi-operating system - but I doubt that that is what you want.
So if you want to keep your running Windows 7 - ESXi is not for you. Instead have a look at VMware Workstation or VMware Player.
If you really want to install ESXi you will need another computer with no data on it. Your Windows 7 computer will then be used to operate the ESXi / vSphere installation on the other computer.
