    I have experienced a problem with Sandboxie in it's default position.
    I tried to install Mobile Net Switch with Sandboxie just sitting in it's default position
    aitchttp//XXX.mobilenetswitch.com/
    When I went to install Mobile Net Switch, Sandboxie sandboxes it and doesn't allow the install to complete, causing an error.
    When I turned off Sandboxie from the right click tray icon and went to re-install Mobile Net Switch Sandboxie "reclaimed" it and the same thing happened again.
    Anybody know why this might happen.
    When I completely removed Sandboxie ( complete uninstall ) Mobile Net Switch installed as normal. Mobile Net Switch is a .msi installation.

    Did you remove it from the sandbox before trying to install it? If you are trying to install it sandboxed it probably won't work.

    I hadn't asked it to be sandboxed, Sandboxie just took it.
    when this first happened I emptied the default Sandbox just in case before retry but Sandboxie just took it again on starting the installation, I then closed Sandboxie from the tray icon, and the tray icon went but it just re-appeared when I went to reinstall the program

    I've never seen that. I'd suggest posting in the Sandboxie forum. There they might figure out whats going on. Forum is here.
