Sandboxie Plus 0.7

What is this: SBIE1090651420

 

where is help a help button?

 

David, I believe Sandboxie has a dedicated user base but they belong into different groups. Most users have come along for a long time and have some appreciation of what sandboxie can do and are not put off by a set of behaviours to adopt to make sandboxie work for them. A lot of threads here are with more sophisticated users and it's great that you are always happy to communicate directly with them, providing advice to deal with specific issues. Please bear in mind though that for some users like myself things may get overly complicated if it's necessary to finetune everything, accessing registry settings and ini. I hope and assume that sandboxie (I have switched to plus) will still be working "out of the box" for the average use.

 

Look at this

 

FWIW ~ as test ~ I produced a Plus Notification and clicked question mark

 

What program displays taht pale blue message in the background?

 

I clicked OK against DefaultBox. My default browser Chrome sandbox called help page https://xanasoft.com/sandboxie/sbie2214/
I produced SBIE2214 from Edge sandbox.
-
Edit: as test ~ SBIE1301 from Edge.

Chrome sandbox called help page https://sandboxie-plus.com/sandboxie/sbie1301/
@Mr.X ~ Sorry, SBIE1090651420 #51 is ??
I was just testing question mark. 0.7.1

 

Of cause it will, you will just have more options to customize it past the original defaults, the goal is to empower users to solve issues which previously required new builds being deployed.

 

Why this msg after setting DropAdminRights=y FakeAdminRights=y

Then I hid it and sandboxie.ini showed this line:

Code:

SbieCtrl_HideMessage=2219,SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe [Chrome]

 

FWIW ~
DropAdminRights=y | FakeAdminRights=y
DropAdminRights=y | FakeAdminRights=n

Code:

SBIE2214 Request to start service 'bits' was denied due to dropped rights
SBIE2219 Request was issued by program SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe [Edge]
SBIE2220 To permit use of Administrator privileges, please double-click on this message line

SBIE2214 Request to start service 'bits' was denied due to dropped rights
SBIE2219 Request was issued by program SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe [Chrome]
SBIE2220 To permit use of Administrator privileges, please double-click on this message line
-----
SbieCtrl_HideMessage=2214, bits
SbieCtrl_HideMessage=2219, SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe [Edge]
SbieCtrl_HideMessage=2220,SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe [Edge]
SbieCtrl_HideMessage=2219, SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe [Chrome]
SbieCtrl_HideMessage=2220,SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe [Chrome]

 

Thanks @bjm_

Then both lines combinations don't work as expected, it is supposed to stop programs from asking...

 

Yeah...even with HideMessage=2214 / 2219 / 2220
... on occasion I'll see SBIE2214 + SBIE2219

Yeah, I've run Chrome n' daily rider Edge sans Drop Rights....due to 'bits'.

I'm testing 0.7.1 Drop Admin Rights because = (Recommended)
I've tested DropAdminRights=y | FakeAdminRights=y
I'm currently with DropAdminRights=y | FakeAdminRights=n

and on occasion see SBIE2214 + SBIE2219 from daily rider Edge.
Note: "on occasion" is not deal breaker, at this time.

But after,I clean the message log it bye,bye,...................

 

Hi,
I just installed SandboxIE Plus on my PC. I am unable to launch Firefox in Sandbox'd mode.

O/S : Windows 7 64 Bit
SBX : Sandboxie-Plus-x64-v0.7.0.exe
Driver : SbieDrv.sys.5.48.0.x64.rc4

I tried to launch Firefox by Right clicking and selecting 'Run Sandboxed'.

ERRORS:

20:00:59.628 Start.exe (4520): SBIE1213 Cannot create object directory '\Device\HarddiskVolume3\Sandbox\USR\SandBox\Session_1' [C0000024]
20:00:59.641 Start.exe (4520): SBIE1231 Initialization failed for process [C0000001 / A2]

SeparateUserFolders=y
KeyRootPath=\REGISTRY\USER\Sandbox_%USER%_%SANDBOX%
IpcRootPath=C:\Sandbox\%USER%\SandBox\Session_%SESSION%

User Account is called 'USR' and has ADMIN rights.

Please help...

 

First, thanks for all you have done for Sandboxie.
I have been using the classic for many years and just found out about the new updated style.
I installed the latest 64bit Plus and when I open it, I get the dialog box and have to "right click" on my
default box, then click on run web browser to open it. I am a very basic user.
I cannot find how to just have it open the web browser (Edge) without the additional step.

 

You have IpcRootPath set to a file system path, which doesn't make sense. Try changing it to:

Code:

IpcRootPath=\Sandbox\%USER%\%SANDBOX%\Session_%SESSION%

 

Are you wanting to Force Edge?

Spoiler: Force Edge

Note: with Plus installed. You may run Classic UI.

Spoiler: Classic UI

 

there is no "Edge" listed under the whole list of WebBrowsers in the app template
And if I type "edge" as suggested I get a blank page (using Win 8.1) Screenshot added.
thanks
dan

How do I get to the classic UI from Plus?

Perhaps I should do a cleaner reinstall and not save the ini file.
I am probably going to upgrade to win 10 pro soon and in the meantime
I will download firefox and see if that works, but I would appreciate any suggestions
on where I am messing up

 

It looks like you are using an old version. Latest version is 0.7.1, downloadable here: https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases/tag/0.7.1

 

Spoiler: Classic UI from Plus

My practice is to pin Plus UI SandMan &or Classic UI SbieCtrl to Taskbar. Just me.
Users may set Start UI preference.

 

I might be ok but here is what happened

Well it is getting worse for me. I uninstalled all versions of classic and Plus and tried to reinstall newest plus on Win 8.1
1. It told me I needed win 7 drivers?
2. Tried to install latest classic version.
It told me I needed digitally signed something
3. Just re-ran the classic exe file and it installed
4. I now have edge listed as a option and it seems to be working
5. I got my releases from here
Release Release v0.7.1 / 5.48.5 · sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie · GitHub
I tried the Plus-x64-0.7.1 and that told me I needed win 7 drivers
I then installed this Classic x64-5.48.5 (worked after two tries)
But when I go to "About" it says I have plus installed (see image)
do I have the latest versions?

For years I have put my sandbox on a ram drive, is that good/ok/helpful from a security standpoint?

Can I now install the plus UI? I have the classic red dots on yellow background.
Thanks again
dan

 

Did you scour Program Files for remnants. No biggy if your Classic install feels okay.

If you ran Sandboxie-Classic-x64-v5.48.5.exe ... you have Classic installed.

Your image does not say you have Plus installed.
Your image is showing Classic UI. All Sandboxie-Plus & Classic installers on https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases/tag/0.7.1 are DavidXanatos builds > https://sandboxie-plus.com/

You installed Classic and have Classic UI.

If you now install Sandboxie-Plus-x64-v0.7.1.exe.....Classic will be removed.
Plus and Classic share components. Plus installer installs Plus & Classic shared components to Sandboxie-Plus folder. Classic installer installs Classic components to Sandboxie folder.

Was machine ever W7. W10 does not need Provisional.Windows.7.Drivers.

Release v0.5.0 / 5.45.0 - DavidXanatos released this on Dec 7, 2020
https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases/tag/v0.5.0
This build is a major milestone in the development of Sandboxie, it marks the first open source release that has a driver properly signed for windows 10 and 8.
For Windows 7 unfortunately the signing process did not returned a working driver, a solution is being worked on.
Therefor, for the time being please download the "Provisional Windows 7 Drivers.zip" package and provide the driver to the setup when prompted for.

How does your Classic UI feel?

 

Peculiar problem with deleting sandbox contents when using multiple sandboxes concurrently. Don't know if this happened prior to 0.7.1.

Most of my sandboxes are configured to delete their contents when they close using the following:

DeleteCommand=%SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe /c RMDIR /s /q "%SANDBOX%"​

I did two tests where I started sandbox 'a', then started sandbox 'b', then started sandbox 'c'.

Test 1 (close sandboxes in the same order they were started):

1. Closed sandbox 'a' (its contents were deleted immediately as expected)
2. Closed sandbox 'b' (its contents were deleted immediately as expected)
3. Closed sandbox 'c' (its contents were deleted immediately as expected)

Test 2 (close sandboxes in reverse order they were started):

1. Closed sandbox 'c' (contents were NOT deleted)
2. Closed sandbox 'b' (contents were NOT deleted)
3. Closed sandbox 'a' (its contents were deleted immediately as expected, as were the contents of sandbox 'c' and sandbox 'b')

So, if sandboxes are closed in the order they are started, their contents are deleted as expected.
But, if you close a sandbox that was started AFTER another sandbox, then its contents are NOT deleted until the other sandbox is closed.

 

@txhawkeye
Since, you mention RMDIR. Are you running Classic UI?
Does Plus have Delete Command window?
Do I add [ %SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe /c RMDIR /s /q "%SANDBOX%" ] to Auto Exec.
Okay to test "peculiar problem" .... with AutoDelete=y
Do you run 'a' 'b' 'c' boxes with Drop Rights or with Leader / Lingering?
Maybe, best to test Default box's A B C.
Edit:
FWIW ~ Test 2 - Default box's A B C with AutoDelete=y

Spoiler: Test 2

1) RunSandboxed Firefox Default_A
2) RunSandboxed Chrome Default_B
3) RunSandboxed Edge Default_C
----
1) Close Edge Default_C
2) Close Chrome Default_B
3) Close Firefox Default_A
----
1) Edge Default_C retains files
2) Chrome Default_B retains files
3) Firefox Default_A empties > Default_C & Default_B empty

 

1) I am running the Sandboxie-Plus UI
2) Don't know if Plus has a delete command window
3) No, 'DeleteCommand' goes in the section of the sandboxie.ini file for each sandbox you where you want to use it. Selecting 'autodelete' for a sandbox in the UI by default uses the command I referenced in my post. See https://github.com/DavidXanatos/sandboxie-docs/blob/main/Content/DeleteCommand.md

I should note that I have been using sandboxie since 2008. I have always maintained my sandbox configurations by directly configuring sandboxie.ini rather than using the UI. At one time in the past I used a custom .bat file to delete sandbox contents. I used 'DeleteCommand' to tell sandboxie to use that .bat file to perform the deletion when closing a sandbox. I later stopped using the .bat file and replaced the 'DeleteCommand' with the command referenced in my post.
