Opening links in sandboxed application doesn't work. [SOLVED]

Post by Micah71381 » Fri Sep 15, 2017 12:12 am

I have a computer that I installed an OS on and then installed Sandboxie. I then created a new sandbox and install Slack and Chrome in it. Chrome required me to launch with `--no-sandbox` but otherwise it is working. However, when I click a link in Slack, nothing happens. My expectation is that the link would open in the copy of Chrome installed in that sandbox.

Note: The link doesn't do _anything_. No browser window is opened, inside or outside of the sandbox.

It turns out my problem was that my default browser was set to Edge in Windows. Switching it to Internet Explorer 11 resolved the problem. I'm going to submit a new question on how to have a browser installed inside a sandbox be the default browser.
