Upgrading to Win 10 v1809 may require removing Sandboxie

Problem: When upgrading to Windows 10 Insider - Fast Ring- 17755.1 or higher - Including Release Windows 10 1809 Oct Update -, you may be presented with a message stating Sandboxie needs to be deleted if old versions of Sandboxie (prior to 5.27.1) are present.

Solution: Delete the old Sandboxie versions and its installers before proceeding with the upgrade, then reinstall Sandboxie normally.

Not all programs can be installed inside Sandboxie

Problem: Some applications (such as Chrome, MSI Installers/ other apps that invoke services) may no install inside Sandboxie + Windows 10 .

Solution: Install the application on your host and then run it sandboxed.

SBIE2327 Error in COM server when using 32 chars Sandbox names

Problem: 32 char Sandbox names return SBIE2327 Error in COM server: [81 / 0] / SBIE2327 Error in COM server: [31 / 0] / SBIE2308 Could not create object directory: [22 / C0000004] .

Solution: Remove 1 character from your Sandbox's name (31 characters should work as expected).

Windows 10 Metro (tile) apps and Edge Web browser

Problem: Edge browser or metro apps will not work in sandboxie v5+.

Solution: None at this time. Otherwise, Windows 10 and Sandboxie v5+ is compatible with each other. Older versions of Sandboxie are not compatible at all with Windows 10.

Solution:If you fail to change your Windows 10 default web browser (Edge) and you click on "run browser sandboxed" Sandboxie will automatically load IE 11 (which is included in Windows 10.) (You must use SBIE Version 5+ with Windows 10, any version before v5 will NOT work with Windows 10.)

Please visit the forum for current updates in regards to Windows 10. http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/


Anti-virus & Anti-malware programs

Website: Updated supported suites-Sandboxie Forum: http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=21539

Problem: Issues with "x" AV and anti-malware programs.

Solution: There may be work arounds to adjust Sandboxie and/or the product so that they may be compatible with each other. Recommend posting information in our user forum so it may be investigated. http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=19746

Anti-virus Installed & related browser tool bars

Problem: Unexpected problems with web browsers when running sandboxed when Anti-virus and related tool bars are installed.

Solution: Attempt to remove / or disable any installed tool-bars and relaunch your sandboxed browser.

Solution: Some tool bars may not be compatible with Sandboxie when a browser is run sandboxed. However, may do work without any issue or with minor adjustment. Please visit our forum for more information and resources. http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/


Office 2013 on up & Office 365

Problem: MS Office 2013, 2016 and Office 365 will crash when sandboxed. This includes Outlook 2013 and up. (Click to run Versions only)

__Solution: Office is supported in Beta version 5.11.4 of Sandboxie. It is a Paid feature, so you must be using a registered and paid copy for it to work in SBIE. Click here for more information... http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=22645

Solution #2. Use a non-Click-To-Run version of Office (2013 and older) or Google Docs, Libre Office, OpenOffice, MS Office 2010 or older. All support MS document formats.


Norton Antivirus and Security Products (Norton 360, etc)

Problem: Firefox may not load, or load after a significant delay when sandboxed with Norton installed

Solution: In Norton, under Administrative Settings, disable both options under "Firefox Cleanup"

Problem: Users may get CONATST.EXE Error w/ SBIE 2235 error "Failed process" Solution: This is part of the Norton Suite, most likely the Identity section. This would have to be disabled in the program and in all web browser addons. However, this may not fully solve the errors. Thus, Norton would have to be removed.

Conclusion: Should the above tip not work, Norton should be removed so that Sandboxie may function correctly as your primary online protection.


Kaspersky Products (2015, 2016, 2017)

Home Page: http://www.kaspersky.com

Problem: "Service not implemented" error when running Sandboxie and / or Sandboxie will crash with KS 2015/16/17 installed (Win 10, 8 & 8.1)

Solution: For Windows 7, you must add Sandboxie Folder to Kaspersky's 'Threats and Exclusions' section for KIS 2015/2016 in Windows 7.

For Windows 8/8.1 & Win 10 -KS 2015 and 2016/2017 is not compatible with Sandboxie. Kaspersky must NOT be installed, otherwise Sandboxie will not work.

IT'S BEST TO NOT HAVE ANY KASPERSKY PRODUCTS INSTALLED. DISABLING WILL NOT WORK. We've instructed KIS what they need to change in their code, at this time, they have not. Thus, their code disrupts Sandboxie.


AVG Security Suite 2015 & 2016

Home Page: https://www.avg.com/

Problem: Sandboxie may not function correctly with AVG installed

Solution: Add the sandboxie folder to AVGs "Exclusions" option inside of AVG. More info here in our forum http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=21539


Comodo Antivirus & Security Suite

Home Page: https://www.comodo.com

Problem: Sandboxie may not function with comodo installed.

Solution: Following Sandboxie files must be added to Comodo's Exclusion list

Start.exe""License.exe""SandboxieBITS.exe""SandboxieCrypto.exe""SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe""SandboxieRpcSs.exe""SandboxieWUAU.exe""SbieCtrl.exe""SbieIni.exe""SbieSvc.exe"


Dr. Web Katana / Security Space

Problem: Sandboxie may not function with Dr. Web Products installed.

Solution: Remove offending A/V product so that Sandboxie will function


AppGuard

Home Page: http://www.blueridge.com/index.php/products/appguard/consumer

Problem: Web browser fails to start under the supervision of Sandboxie or sandboxie may crash.

Solution: c:\sandbox an exception folder (on the Guarded Apps tab) and NOT to add c:\sandbox to user-space policy.

Solution: Please see this forum post as well.. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/appguard-4-x-32-64-bit.355206/page-136#post-2505627


BitDefender Total Security&Antivirus 2015/16

Home Page: http://www.bitdefender.com

Problem: Sandboxie version 4+ and version 5+ is incompatible with BitDefender Antivirus to some small extent.

Solution: Adjust shield settings in BitDefender. Modules > Antivirus > click on the gear "icon" >GO to Active Threat Control > and move the slider to "Off" - Delete SBIE Sandbox Contents & relaunch the browser.


TOR Web Browser

Problem: TOR is very slow in a sandbox, crashes or crashes after a certain time.

Solution: The TOR browser is not supported by Sandboxie. Thus, it's use in a sandbox is not guaranteed to work.


Pidgin IM Client

Problem: Cut and paste in the Pidgin chat window while sandboxed will cause Pidgin to crash.

Solution: None at this time.


GOG Games and Galaxy Beta

website http://www.gog.com

Problem: Games from GOG Galaxy may not run while sandboxed.

Solution: Current version of GOG Galaxy *does* work (Non Beta). You have to "force" GOG Program folder so that it works correctly within a SB. Thus, you will need a paid version of SBIE. Better solution, install GOG / GOG games on your host computer. Refer to this post as well http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23233&p=122627&hilit=gog#p122627


Steam Online Games

Website: https://store.steampowered.com

Problem: Not all Steam games will function while Sandboxed.

Solution: Install the Games on your computer, not in a sandbox. Most games can work. However, there are reports that some simply may not. If you run into a problem with a Steam Game, you should make sure Steam client is update on your host machine. Run Steam not sandboxed, download and install the game on your host computer and then "right click" on the game shortcut and select "run as sandboxed" as a work around. If problems persist, please let us know by posting the details in our forum here: http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=19746


Nuance OmniPage

Home Page: http://www.nuance.com

Problem: Internet Explorer performs very slowly when run sandboxed.

Solution: Use the Startup tab of the System Configuration Utility (msconfig.exe) to disable the automatic start of OpwareSE4.exe.


Nuance Advanced PDF Pro

Problem: SBIE2224 error

Solution: By default, Windows 10 uses Edge to open PDFs. Edge is not supported. Please use another PDF viewer. Nuance is not supported at this time


PunkBuster

Home Page: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsvcfaq.php

Problem: PunkBuster-enabled games are aborted with the message "Unknown Windows API Function" or "Service Communication Failure".

Note: Applies to PunkBuster client version 1.500 or higher.

Solution:

Trusteer Rapport

Home Page: http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/category/advanced-fraud-protection

Problem: Trusteer Rapport software will not install or run under Sandboxie.

Solution: None (as of Sept 2015) To use Trusteer Rapport, run the web browser outside the sandbox.


Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition

Home Page: http://www.webroot.com/En_US/business-antispyware-ce.html

Problem: Sandboxie does not start with Webroot installed.

Solution: None. Webroot must not be installed for Sandboxie to work. An updated list of support AV programs can be found here: http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=21539


ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite Version 8

Home Page: http://www.zonealarm.com

Problem: Computer becomes unresponsive after closing the last sandboxed program.

Solution:


Canon Printers, Canon Easy-WebPrint

Home Page: http://www.canoneasywebprint.com/en/index.htm

Problem: Popup error window: Direct OCR Error: An error with Direct OCR caused a memory conflict in your open applications. Please restart Windows.

Note: Although the Canon Easy-WebPrint toolbar attaches to Internet Explorer, this error reportedly occurs when running Firefox sandboxed.

Solution: Remove the Canon Easy-WebPrint toolbar software.


HP Universal Print Driver

Problem: The HP Universal Printer Status Monitor pop-up component is failing when printing from a sandboxed Web browser.

Solution: Open Sandbox Settings > Resource Access > COM Access, click Add and enter this resource name:
{D713F357-7920-4B91-9EB6-49054709EC7A}


iTunes for Windows

Home Page: https://www.apple.com

Problem: Running iTunes for Windows "as sandboxed" OR installing iTunes within a sandbox

Solution: None at this time. Installing iTunes within a sandbox is not possible and it will fail as drivers are not permitted to be installed within a sandbox. Running iTunes "as sandboxed" will work somewhat, but you will constantly receive "trusted installer" errors and any sync between iPhone or iPad is not possible.


Chrome and Flash Plug in

Info: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6258784?p=ib_outdated_plugin&rd=2&visit_id=0-636385974142748562-4174731262

Problem: Plugins that use NPAPI, including Silverlight, Java, and Unity, wont work

Solution: NPAPI plugins can't be enabled, so if you want to use a website that uses an NPAPI plugin, youll need to use a different web browser. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6213033?p=ib_outdated_plugin&rd=1
