Sandboxie 3.442 Released

Sandboxie 3.442 Released - April 17, 2010

Changes to Sandboxie since version 3.44:

Fixes a problem with Windows Update KB979683, which was released on 13 April 2010, and causes Sandboxie to stop working on Windows XP and Windows 2000 computers.

 

Well that is a nice way of telling "caused SBIE to stop working", it took me half an hour to get XP working properly again. I consider myself lucky having image backups

 

Great software. Although it says that it only fixes a problem with windows update i find it faster, lite and more compatible to work with opera 10.51 now I hope 3.45 is much better for Opera users.

 

Yeah,that "half hour" is pure torture.
Five hours, more or less, from first post on Sandboxie Forums,to a resolution build.
Can you tell me a single security software,faced with a similar "borking" that has responded so quickly and effectively?

In the past few months we have had:
1:Comodo
2:Avast!
3:Bit-Defender

All of these from internal update mess ups.
All of these, in at least a few occasions, requiring reformat and install.


Bravo Sandboxie!!
May the future screw ups, I face be no worse!!

First: I commented on the euphemism not response time

Second: having one PC, it does not help having a solution on the web, when you do not have a working PC (and no access to the internet).

Third: I am allowed to work one day a week at home. I had promised a colleque some data sheets. The half hour trouble shooting caused a 15 minuted delay. I do not like to brake my promise.

 

Yes, so don't do operating system updates if you have time-critical work to do... sounds easy. Also, unless you actually are affected directly by some sort of vulnerability, there's no point in doing a lab rat and especially with no other box to test, perfectly reasonable to delay the hotfixes by a couple of days and see whether some issues appear for others or not.

 

@Newby:

Sorry,no offense intended.
The 'torture" remark in my post was out of line.

I caught the update in question,and instantly Sandboxie was knocked out.
In my case,only Sandboxie was effected.

That is why I contrasted this issue with a few others,where effects
were system wide.

No worries, I noticed in other post afterwards you mark your own writing as "convulated". English is not my first language so I do not catch sophisticated details of it.

Thanks

 

I have older version 3.38 and I tried to update using the update in sandboxie, it always seems to fail after it downloads the exe and ask me to click ok to install. I click ok then nothing seems to happen?

Should I just go ahead and get the setup from the website? Would it be ok to just install that setup on top of my current sandboxie or do I need to do clean install?

 

Sounds like a plan...

Worked for me everytime. If it doesn't for you, uninstall, reboot, reinstall.

 

Well now I updated and I'm already finding an issue. I can't seem to update firefox in sandbox. First I get bunch of warnings from sandboxie then firefox says update failed.

So now we can't update firefox in sandboxie? This is bit frustrating as I as many have used sandboxie to experiment with other versions of firefox. Solutions?

 

Already answered you on another thread. Please avoid cross-posting.

 

I did not know you could do that.I just updated an add on, in a sandboxed firefox. After a restart of firefox, i expected the add on not to be installed, but it had.Is this supposed to happen.I'm surprised

 

It's def strange, have you checked the firefox settings in sandboxie? btw I'm using the free version.

 

Please forgive me, I should check these things out before I post. I don't think the box had emptied.After deletion of the box, the update had not applied.Sorry
