So...........what do you hope to gain? I'm all for testing and trying, but, for your topic 'why?'

No, you cannot. You cannot sandbox Windows. Sanboxie is not VM environment. Sandboxie does not permit drivers to be installed for one....among 102,345 other reasons it cannot be.

Use a VM, like virtual box. Not a security container which is what SBIE is.. They are 2 very opposite programs. Don't confuse the 2.

I'm not sure what "fitting" on your machine means. But that's exactly why you have VM products.

AND.......... it was a serious reply of encouragement. With a 'factory' computer I don't even have the opportunity to TRY!

But... I guess Craig has the facts, anyway...................

Lol I had asked one of the Devs that very question one time, and his quote was "that won't end well..." Lol

Although it may try and attempt to install, but it would fail quickly, and I'm not sure what else may happen...This exactly why VMWare and Virtualbox exist.

I get this question about once A day via email, mainly confusion about SBIE or someone looking for a cheap, lightweight VM when compared to VMWare.

So it's not an unusual request if you haven't used SBIE or are fairly new to it.
