Fake free space on drive C

[odin]

Hello, I keep my sandbox container folders on another hard drive with plenty of space but sometimes when installing programs they check drive C free space and usually I only have 3-4 gigs free on that partition., is there anyway sandboxie can fake free space on a drive (since the program will really be installed to the other hdd it shouldn't matter what the free space is on the main drive)

I doubt that any setting in Sandboxie would help.
Programs probably ask Windows to tell them how much space is available on C drive, since it's Windows that keeps track of that.

Programs usually check for free disk space using:

GetDiskFreeSpace:

GetDiskFreeSpaceEx:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 85%29.aspx

Sandboxie would have to hook both APIs and return faked values.

I think that prior to version 3.54 (according to my change log), a program would get the amount of free space on the drive containing the sandbox, and starting with version 3.54, Sandboxie intentionally makes sure the accurate amount of free space is reported for the drive in question. I think this is the correct behavior.

If a program refuses to install due to disk space on drive C, why not tell it to install on some other drive instead? It's all going into the same sandbox drive anyway.
