However, if you install Slack on your host, set up and log in (then exit)
Then, right click on Slack and run as sandboxed, it works just fine.
Win10x64 SBIE 5.07.7 Slack v. 1.2.7 32bit.
Yes i understand that i can do it like you recommended. But normally i use sandboxie to not allow crappy installers to create mess in windows registry and in file system. Because almost every modern application developer think that his application have to be in startup, almost every modern application try to create tonns of files in windows system directory, install strange libraries , install 3rd party programs which i not need etc . Due to such actions after year or two years Windows boot time dramatically increase. With sandboxie application uninstallation is really easy - just simple delete of sandbox. And all registry and files mess go away with deleted sandbox.
So almost every application i prefer to set in separate box.
is it possible to enable special debug mode or so for sandboxie to detect what exactly application try to do ?
PS . Also yesterday found one more issue with installer of Transmission-Qt Gui build for Windows. Installer not crash but show window "Installer initialization failed. The installer will now exit".
Look like that installers support little bit broken in sandboxie. I found small workaround : Windows installed on vmware with snapshot of original system. I install application in vmware and after it just copy folder where app installed to sandbox. After it i return Windows to previous snapshot for next app installation. But such solution work only for some programs.
