Windows 10: Problem upgrading to W10 1909 due to SandBoxie

Hello,


I can't upgrade to 1909 because i'm asked to uninstall 2 ! instances of SandBoxie, which I have uninstalled long ago. There's is no way I can uninstall it now.

I removed all occurence of SandBoxie in the registry to no avail.

I removed all occurence of SandBoxie in the R+Ww5dyPGU+ZcV9X.6.0.0.3.79.6.8.0.0_APPRAISER_HumanReadable.xml to no avail.


Any idea, anyone ?...


Thank you


Philippe

I know what you mean. There is one program for downloading videos that sometimes I install sandboxed but cant do it anymore in W10. The installer (an exe) looks for dlls that are part of Microsoft Visual and when it doesn't find them, it causes the install to fail. So, I know installing programs in a sandbox has become more difficult than it used to.

When I told Curt about the MSI problem, he was like he didn't know about it. Perhaps he will look at it when he has spare time but as you probably know, things have changed. Pretty much the only support we can expect right now is for Sandboxie to work properly with the latest release of W10 and the major browsers. Anything else is way down in the list of priorities.

Other that this issue, Sandboxie is working great with W10 1909. I can live with this just fine. I dont use Sandboxie for testing programs that much, I use it for security, for running most programs and files I run in a daily basis, and for that, Sandboxie is working as good as ever in W10 1909 (and W7).

I haven't updated to W10 1909 yet but this SBIE version is working great in 1903.

Hi Mike, there is a problem between Sandboxie and the Windows Installer Service. MSI installers cant run in a sandbox in W10. I think it started in W10 1809. MSI installers can still run properly sandboxed in W7 so this is a W10 problem with SBIE.

For me is not a big ideal as I dont install too many programs sandboxed but I know some people are suffering because of this. I doubt this is going to be fixed anytime soon.

Try using regular exes for sandboxed installs. They still work fine sandboxed. For example if a program you want to install sandboxed, offers MSI and exe installers, use the exe (Look at picture below).





For what is worth. Sandboxie 5.31.6 and W10 1909 are working great together. I cant find anything wrong in any of the activities I do under Sandboxies supervision on a daily basis.
