    Having a small Problem with SB and AG together.When I open browser sandboxie It takes a very long time to open and noticed that in the event log that sandboxie is being blocked and its not in the guarded list.It works fine on install but anything above its doomed.

    I spent a lot of time and the only way I could get it to open normaly was to uncheck guarded Internet explorer.I am not worried because the browser is still in SB.I am thinking its something with the user space but for the life of me I cant figure it out.

    So my work around is as mentioned above is to uncheck IE guarded app.I know I am not alone with this because I was recently asked how to configure SB with AG but obvious I am of no help.Hopefully some of you brilliants minds can help all of us with this.

    What is the blocking error message you are getting.

    Let me check be RB.


    K says prevented process < internet explorer from writing to C:sandbox\name\defaultbox\\user\current\appdata\local microsoft internet explorer.There is other logs they say some different like preventing to local temps and favorites.there is a lot of them.I tried to screen shot it but wont let me for some reason.


    Like I said if I unchecked app guard for IE its perfect and outside of sandboxie with appguard checked its perfect.Even with restrction removed from SB same resullts.

    Djohn, Try putting appguard in install mode. Then run IE sandboxed. I got the same message trying to run firefox sandboxed. Appguard didn't seem to like that. Sandboxie gave me a "unable to mount registry hive" error message. I put appguard in install mode then ran sandboxie. I then put it back into high. Seems to be working at the moment. I'll let you know if it works on restart.

    Add the following files to the MemoryGuard exception list with write permission:

    sandboxierpcss.exe
    sandboxiedcomlaunch.exe
    sandboxiecrypto.exe

    Also add c:\sandbox folder to the folder exception list under the guarded apps tab with read/write permissions.


    Edit: Fixed typo

    Ok that failed horribly. I'm still getting the registry hive error when trying to run firefox sandboxed. Hopefully someone that has some experiance with both of these can shed some light. I really don't have time to be messing with it.

    Do what kid just said. I tried it and it seems to be working well. Just make sure when you add C:/sandboxie to the list change it from deny to write/read.

    Couple of quick questions. Anyone getting this combo working on win 7 x 64? I have the same settings as on Vista 32 but on Win 7 keep getting errors.

    On a different note is the sandbox container user space? If not the AE functionality of AppGuard is not going to kick in so you still need start run restrictions?

    Thanks

    Thanks much for that Kid Shamrock,
    but you probably mean "SandboxieRpcSs.exe".
    No biggie but I was using a search tool and was not finding it...

    The settings mentioned in this thread work fine on my WinXP machines. On my 7 x64 machine I can only run SBIE if I use the Sandboxed Web Browser shortcut or right click on my browser icon and use the run sandboxed selection. The problem for me on 7 x64 seems to stem from the forced program setting for my browsers. If the browser is launched forced I have a failure every time, and I have not found any AppGuard settings to solve this other unchecking the guarded application box for the browser. o_O

    Dave, that is exactly my problem. Glad it is not just me going mad! Maybe the way SBIE intercepts the browser on 64 bit when launched direct from the shortcut is different than 32 bit because of patchgaurd and this triggers AppGuard intervention/protection. Although for me at least nothing is logged.

    Might head over to the SBIE forum and see if Tzuk has a solution or at least explanation.

    Thanks

    That's very similar to what I was thinking Chris. Hopefully, Tzuk can give us some idea what's going on. :)

    OK here is a quick one that is giving issues.

    10/27/11 19:28:33 Prevented process <googleupdate.exe> from launching from <c:\users\kjdemuth\appdata\local\google\update>.

    Now would that go into the memoryguard or under the apps?

    I excluded that folder from user space, and that seemed to take care of it.
