Re: [5.23.5] Visual Studio 2017 fail to start in sandbox

Post by Barb@Invincea » Thu Feb 08, 2018 4:17 pm

Hello RadarNyan,

I installed Visual Studio Pro 2017 v15, I did not select any specific components, just the basic installation and I was able to repro the issue.

I have searched the forums and it seems that there hasn't been much success running Visual Studio inside Sandboxie. The devs mentioned that they don't think this app can run sandboxed, mostly because it requires a lot of interaction with the OS and Sandboxie is isolating it.
Is there any reason why you need to run this app in SBIE?

Perhaps a VM will help you running VS2017 isolated from your host.


Regards,
Barb.-

Re: [5.23.5] Visual Studio 2017 fail to start in sandbox

Post by RadarNyan » Thu Feb 08, 2018 4:53 pm

The reason I want to do this is because VS2017 has so many components and a lot of them runs in the background even if I'm not using it. Surely I can run it in a VM but that would create too much overhead (addition hard drive space for another Windows installation, addition RAM for Windows running inside VM, not to mention that I'll need another Windows license).

I've read in the forum that older version of VS could be installed & run sandboxed. Maybe some debugging features (like IntelliTrace, which could be turned off) would have problem but it should be fine to run the editor and compile stuff - that's all I need.

When new versions of Chrome releases, it could stop working in sandbox and there would be a new version of Sandboxie to support it. Why give up on VS? Just because the devs "don't think this app can run sandboxed"? Can the devs at least try to make it work? I can understand some application like VMware can't run sandboxed, but VS isn't like that by all means.

Hello RadarNyan,

These are the current priorities:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24980

If you want to review all the tests/user reports about VS, please see:
search.php?keywords=visual+studio
Some users were able to run certain versions of it (typically older ones), some others were not able to run them at all. It's always been a tricky topic, plus as stated before, this application does require a lot of communication with Windows and using a Sandbox may just not work at all for it.

However, if any new information is found in the future, it will be posted in the forums.

Regards,
Barb.-
