[.02] Start.exe does not handle space in parameter properly

Post by ssin » Wed Jan 02, 2013 3:31 am

First let me thank you for this excellent product, I have used it extensively for a few years and has just made my purchase =]

A bug I have observed is that Start.exe cannot properly pass parameter with space to programs to be sandboxed.

Replicating the behavior:
1. Make a simple batch file, test.bat, which print the parameters and exit.

Code: Select all

@echo %*
@pause
2. Create a shortcut with the Shell Integration menu, which would make a Desktop shortcut with target:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe" /box:DefaultBox "C:\***\test.bat"
3. Drap and Drop any file onto the shortcut.
The sanboxed batch script usually show the parameter correctly.
But if the file contains space anywhere in its path, it will fail to start.

Even if I run the start.exe from commandline and supply the (double-quoted)parameter manually, it also fails.

Please kindly look into this problem.
Thanks.
