Sandboxie-Plus 1.1.1

This is an experimental release it changes how sandboxie marks deleted host files as deleted, instead of creating dummy entries it uses an internal data structure to keep the stat of changes to the host file system. With the new mechanics it is possible to rename folders and keys properly.
This new behavior needs to be enabled by specifying UseFileDeleteV2=y sand UseRegDeleteV2=y in later builds this will be enabled by default, hence please test this pre release build and report back if there are any issues.

Win7 SP1 Home 64bit (build 7601)
Browsers (32bit chromium, mypal,slimjet, falcon)
Sbie v1.1.1 (portable mode, installed over portable v1.0.21)

TEST 1: With experimental options on (UseFileDeleteV2=y, UseRegDeleteV2=y)
Browser window NOT displayed for any browser. Multiple RpcSS Errors:


TEST 2: With experimental options off.
Browsers work normally BUT Multiple "config reloaded" messages appear:


TEST 3: Comparison with v1.0.21
Browsers work normally. Just one "config reloaded" message (unless ini is edited).


EDIT: For Test 2, setting "WatchIni=false" in sandboxie-plus.ini seems to
get rid of the multiple "config reloaded" messages (showing just two).
In v1.0.21, "WatchIni=true" and yet, no multiple messages (see Test 3).

 

@soccerfan Win7-- In the year 2022, why? Screen shots and testing an app like Sandboxie on an archaic OS that remains "functional" and no longer supported by Microsoft seems like an obvious waste of time and effort for yourself and the app developer.

 

For the first time I have had trouble with a new version of Sbie : downloaded Classic 5.56.1 and both Vivaldi and Waterfox crashed. I have reverted to 5.56.0 and everything is back to normal.

 

Can't run anything sandboxed after runing Tor Browser sandboxed. Restarting 'Sandboxie Service' fixes the issue.

 

No offense intended or implied, but whether it really is an obvious waste of time and effort
for the app developer is for the app developer to decide. Why speculate? With respect,

 

Sure. With all of the headaches and heartaches imposed on by the relatively new Win11. From 11 going all the way back to 7. Why speculate indeed. And certainly with all due respect.

 

@DavidXanatos : Will you continue to support Windows 7 for the forseeable future?

 

Yes

 

Try hardware acceleration OFF (for Edge). Here first a white screen and then a black screen.

 

as test: 1.1.1
added: UseFileDeleteV2=y & UseRegDeleteV2=y to my Edge sbox ini
Edge sbox feels okay, for me.
W10 Home (19044.1706)

 

I have an idea what may have broken this, here is a new sbiedll.dll that should solve the issue, please let me know if that works, than I'll prepare a 1.1.2 build.

Great news and suits this member since Windows 8.1 is a monumental PowerHouse on this end.
Downloaded and beginning my own saga with Sandboxie+
CHROME and other alternative browsers are totally efficient here, less stuffing's to mess up developers who still support older versions but having to constantly adapt to sudden changes and behaviors with native MS browser. Cheerio

 

@EASTER Please keep us informed. Especially in light of your "other alternative browsers" thing going on. Thanks in advance!

 

Same problem here with 1.1.1 & Edge. In addition to the annoying window above that launches on opening, it also seems to mess up some of the theme a bit - adding a blue background tabs instead of the usual light grey, and removes "system default" from the menu in the part of the settings where themes are (Appearance > Overall Appearance. Light and dark remain, but not "System Default"). Also outlook.com webmail doesn't automatically sign in in the browser. Going back to 1.0.22 (the build I was on previous to 1.1.1) fixes all above issues with Edge. I'm at work so haven't had a chance to test out the dll, but glad to see it fixed the issue for stapp, so I'm sure it will for me too. I shall await 1.1.12. Thanks @DavidXanatos !

 

1. please test the dll

"Also outlook.com webmail doesn't automatically sign in in the browser." <- thats expected because of "fixed credential issue [#1770]" but should work again after loging in once manually as it changed the descriptor under which credentials are saved, so

2. please check if after logging in back manually subsequent loging work again as in the pervious build

 

@stapp or @DavidXanatos can I have some instructions please how and where to install the dll? Thanks.

 

Extract the content of the zio to your instalation directory to overwrite the SbieDll.dll in the root and the otehr in the \32\ sub folder

 

Does Enable Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) Support do anything without user set IP/Port based rules?
Does Enable Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) Support do anything...since, I run Norton Firewall?

Edit: reproduced "Welcome to" calling a .pdf file (Run Sandboxed -> Edge sbox). Edge is my default .pdf viewer.

Edit 2: reproduced "Welcome to" calling Edge desktop shortcut (Run Sandboxed -> DefaultBox (default settings).
