Thank you!

Were there any big changes done "under the hood" of Sandboxie to make it work with Windows 10? There were when Sandboxie went from v3 to v4 in order for it to be compatible with Windows 8. Or is Windows 10 more similar to Windows 8 than Windows 8 was to Windows 7 - and so there was no need for many changes? I hope I'm making sense and not asking too much.

Upgrade from 4.20 using combined installer was possible but I had to install 5.01 twice to get rid of issues. No Firefox errors at startup.

Without Sandboxie it's like without a hand. Thank you!


There is a bug. If you force MS Edge C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_* the MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe and try to execute it then empty sandbox is created, Edge closes before it loads and Windows Store app opens instead. Everything out of the box. Forcing both MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe and MicrosoftEdge.exe does not change anything

That's really good news, although I'll now wait for the official release. Good job!

Yes, Running edge...In Metro mode at least...isn't fully supported as of yet.

I am running (unregistered) SBIE 4.20 on Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit and am unable to install this beta. I have also tried running as admin ...
It seems to get stuck around the 'LICENSE.TXT' process ... is this beta working only for registered users?

Edit: I also tried uninstalling 4.20 first ...

Let me give it a go.

Nope, the Beta is open to everyone...

Okay..a question.. Were you trying to do an upgrade from 4.20? We've seen a very similar problem in Win10 regarding a .sys file that Win10 does not allow to be changed while in use (A change in Win10.) Curt has fixed that issue in v5, and we've not seen it in Win 8,1.

I'd suggest you uninstall SBIE 4.20 > Reboot and attempt to install 5.01 Beta.

Please let me know if that succeeds.

Thanks!

[paulderdash]

Hi - I had already tried that (see edit above) - an uninstall of SBIE 4.20 > Reboot and install of 5.01 Beta has same result.

[bo.elam]

paulderdash, if you havent, temporarily disable your antivirus and rest of security programs, then try reinstalling SBIE afterward. Good luck.

Are you saying the installer just hangs? If it can't replace files because they are in use, it will retry several times and then popup a dialog box that says files are in use and the install can't continue.

5.01 works on Win 10 build 10162 too

I kept getting the attached messages, with installer hanging at that point ... I tried disabling all security software but same issue recurred.

I eventually succeeded by uninstalling SBIE 4.20 AND removing config / .ini file ? (which I hadn't done before - it asks yes or no). With that removed, install worked.
