[5.18] CreateObject, New-Object results in Access Denied

[godrider]

Hello all,

The new 5.18 update creates permission issues (Access denied, 0x80070005) with CreateObject and New-Object in VBScript and Powershell, with or without Sandboxie services opened. However, the issues do not show up in sandboxed mode. This all happened yesterday after I updated Sandboxie from 5.16 to 5.18.
I'm using Windows 10, 64bit.

How to reproduce:
1. Install or update Sandboxie to 5.18.
2. Reboot Windows 10.
2. Launch Sandboxie, if not already.

Using Powershell, the following code results in:

Code: Select all

$IE = new-object -com internetexplorer.application

-

Using VBScript, the following code results in:

Code: Select all

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objIE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application", "IE_")
objIE.Visible = True

Even after closing Sandboxie and its services, the issues still persist.

How to resolve the issues:
1. Uninstall- or rollback Sandboxie to 5.16.
2. Reboot Windows 10.

There might be more issues related with these scripting languages, but have not found them yet.
Hope this get fixed soon!

Regards,
John
