A problem that caused Sandboxie to refuse to install on some 64-bit systems.
A problem with Immediate Recovery to a path which was too long to display in full.

Thanks updated. I wonder how the experimental 64 bit protection is? I went back to 32 bit 7.

 

Thanks

 

So far everything goes well
No bsod or crash sighted
So I guess sandboxie 64 bit protection is officially 99.9% on par with 32bit

 

Many Huzzahs. Do you by chance know what was done with this version to give it about the same protection as the 32 bit version?

 

Any advice for someone looking to upgrade from a previous version? Can I install over the top of my existing Sandboxie installation? Will I lose programs I have installed to existing sandboxes? Will my settings be preserved, in terms of sandbox restrictions and the like?

Or do I need to do an uninstallation and a clean start from the ground up?

Also, if I wanted to activate the experimental protection, is there a way out if Microsoft decide to alter PatchGuard, and thus Sandboxie starts causing BSODs?

 

Every sandboxie release I've ever had has been able to be installed over the top. You don't lose anything at all. As far as the experimental, it's unchecked to begin with, and it's a mere checkbox to enable/disable.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Just installed!

Cheers!

 

Thanks for the heads up, blasev!
3.56 now installed on two XP machines.
Smooth as can be.

 

Sandboxie gets better and better it never lets me down, thanks.

Thanks for update!

 

as explained by tzuk himself :

Eager to see some tests of this new Experimental Protection.

 

How would they look like?
Can only be done by kernel experts, I think.

Anyway, no malware has bypassed Sandboxie x64 yet even without the new experimental protection.
I am convinced that it will show to be very secure, at least I will run programs sandboxed without worries.

 

I just upgraded all three of my Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit PC's from version 3.54 to version 3.56 with no issues.

 

For me, over the top has always been perfect and smooth as it can be.

Great news!

Btw, does anyone know how well Sophos-antivirus will run with this version of SandboxIE? I was also wondering about Webroot-av, since it uses the same engine but program differences between these two AVs may make Webroot ok with SandboxIE anyway?

Sandboxie 3.56 Released

It was about time...

 

Thanks blasev Installed over 3.54 and no issues

I have installed chrome under sandboxie. I want to allow only chrome components for start/run and internet access. How to configure it as I keep getting errors when I select only chrome.exe as allowed to run and access internet

 

@blasev

Thanks for the information, I have updated and it looks OK.

What errors are you getting ?
Did chrome run ok with 3.54 ?
Is chrome ' forced ' in the box ?
