Sandboxie: Windows Installer discontinued and now ?

Hi,

I wanted to install prosecurity in sandboxie but the installation failed. I looked for the windows installer service option but it is now gone. I checked on their site and the windows installer has been now discontinued in the 3*.* versions.

I searched their forum and they suggest this workaround." start an installation that sandboxie handles well and go/revert back to your installation" or something along those lines.

I tried and it doesn't work here.


Any of you experienced this ?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Pete,

Looks like it.But.Older sandboxie versions allowed me to do that tho so I don't see why I can't now.

Anyway I tried installing PS with Returnil on. Installation failed with that too :-(

 

U can,t install PS in SBIE! It,s driver/ service can,t be installed. That,s SBIE,s protection. It,s a sandbox not a VM.
Why u want to do this BTW?

 

Older versions even will not allow. It can fail even in Returnil type shadow software.

If u want to try like this, try in Disk protection of Windows Steady state or beter use VM.

 

Hi, if I read your situation correctly;

Peter is right. You may not fully understand what does a sandbox application, such as sandboxie or defensewall etc do. Any program d/l with it turned on, is treated as untrusted.

To install the d/l, you need firstly to remove it from sandbox application or change it to trusted. Otherwise, the installation will not succeed.

I can install any program with DeepFreeze's freeze mode on, but the installed program will disappear after reboot. I would image the same happened to Returnil.

Take care.

I guess wanted to have a look at it and get rid of it right away without rebooting.I already did a copy/update with FirstDefense before installing but was hoping it would work with sandboxie.My mistake.-

I already installed software that required windows installer service in sandboxie and I thought it was ok with PS as well :-(

Ignorance rules.

 

U should try it in a spare snapshot of FDISR. When have a much better option, why bother for troubles.

 

I did thanks.I first did a copy/update, installed PS, had a look at it, booted to the other snapshot and did copy/update.Software gone no prob.First Defense is way cool. You don't have to bother with uninstalling and checking for program leftovers ever
