Can't find my program!

[rmjaworski]

Hi,
I downloaded a program to test within Sandboxie. I had the installation run sandboxed & it installed fine. The install asked to put an Icon on the desktop & I said OK.
I went to execute the program & couldn't find the shortcut so I looked in my sandbox & ran the ".exe" file which I said to run sandboxed. My task manager says it is running but I cannot find it.
I know I am doing something wrong. Anybody have any ideas?????

After installing the program sandboxed, create a shortcut by navigating to:
SBIE Control>Configure>Windows Shell Integration>Add shortcut icons. Choose the sandbox where you installed the program, look for the sandboxed program in the Programs menu and click on it to create a shortcut in the desktop. I believe creating a shortcut is what you need.

Thanks Bo,
I tried that, got an Icon & the same thing happened - nothing ran, even in the task manager. I then tried another program. I installed it sandboxed - that ran fine. After installing it, I ran it sandboxed & it executed fine.
I guess my question is: Do some programs not run in the sandbox. The program in question runs fine when installed & ran outside the sandbox.

Sometimes programs wont install sandboxed or will install halfway, like when a program requires a driver. This programs don't work properly sandboxed.

Thanks again Bo,
That seems to be the case.

Rich, can you provide a link to the program to see if another SBIE user experiences the same thing?
