how can Sandboxie be used for testing programs?

Hi,

i´m using a sandboxed version of Firefox, so everything installed in that Firefox is a sandboxed install. But can´t sandboxie be used in the same way as Altiris SVS, installing some external program like some different browser for testing purposes?

When i tried that, it somehow didn´t work. I tried to run the application installer sandboxed from some admin environment, but there was only a message "could not start sandboxie control program". What´s wrong?

 

ah, ok. Then Altiris SVS will be the right program. Thank you!

 

Believe it or not, at the moment I´m using SBIE as a software testing tool, and over 90% of the time apps will work correctly. I have also checked out Altiris SVS but it was way too complex. And I also wonder how secure SVS is, what if you try to sandbox a malicious app, will it protect your system?
