impossible to install programs ..

[Jean Michel]

Good news : i have downloaded Media Player Classic and the sandboxed installation was succesful !

Bo, when i have tried to install Java and JCCal, i did exactly the same things as you recommended me : create a new sandbox .. leave default settings in place ( No restrictions, No Drop Rights ).

Craig :

I know the programs are not forced because they do not appear in sandboxie Control and secondly because i cannot see the yellow border ( i’m using « in this windows sandboxed » option in sandboxie Control to verify ).

You are right : it seems that sandboxie behaved as if i were not a paid user ( so FORCING is not working even if my template states that those programs are forced ).

But Sandboxie is registered and the licence is activated :

Bo, in answer to your question « do you know how to run programs you install in a sandbox ? » : i’m using sandboxie since many years and i have installed several hundred programs sandboxed without problem ! But it was an old sandboxie version ( 3.01 ) and i recently decided to use the last sandboxie when my old laptop died ..

Hi Jean, I asked the question because I never assume nothing. I saw the 2008 next to your name but I felt in order to try helping you, I had to ask.

I see you got a 1603 error with Java and a Folder is inaccessible error for the calendar program, read this link from Microsoft about the 1603 error. Maybe you need to grant permissions to the account, check the link.

When i start Opera you can see that the process does not appear in SBIE Control :

To me the issue is using the best tool for the job. While you might hammer a nail with a screwdriver handle, a hammer works much more efficiently. I use sandboxie strictly as a security tool. I don't install anything in them. I install software to the desktop and run stuff sandboxed.

If I want a quick test of software, I use Macrium Reflect Home(paid version) and with that I can very quickly take an image, and with equal speed restore and get rid of anything just installed. If I want to install something that has been on my system a while, I use Revo Unintaller Pro, and it does a pretty good job of cleaning up.
