Sandboxie-Plus v1.8.2, v1.8.2a

This build improves the browser and electron app compatibility quite a bit, it also adds a new web browser compatibility Template wizard allowing to create templates for previously unknown chromium and firefox (gecko) based browsers.
Please review the full Changelog thoroughly as it documents a bunch of new options which allow to control the new compatibility mechanisms and in case of unexpected issues will help to mitigate them.

Please note that with this build we have updated InnoSetup to 6.2.2 which comes with a new more modern icon, also as this is a pre-release build it is not fully signed (only the driver is).

There is a new revision of this update available 1.8.2a see the changelog and update.
Eider by downloading the 1.8.2a installers from https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases/tag/v1.8.2 or by using the built in updater.
Classic users can unpack a plus installer and replace their sbiedll.dll's with the new once.

Sbie Plus 1.8.2 (portable mode) issue:
Run a browser (chrome). Insert a USB stick. Right Click "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon in taskbar.
This triggers SBIE2307 in Sandboxie-Plus Notifications (see image below):


There were no such problems in v1.8.1 (or previous versions)
[perhaps code from an upcoming version slipped through?]

 

Firefox is running but on startup it says a process crashed.

Code:

OLEAUT32.dll (load failed 0xC0000022)
firefox.exe crashed! Crashdump creation failed.

 

eeee... ofcause it does now that i think about it, its a new message added to debug soem things but yea for the case of media removal it neneds a special case, will be fixed asap

 

for me firefox works, what os are you using and which firefox version?

 

@DavidXanatos
EnableMiniDump=y is the cause.

Windows 10 Pro 22H2 64 BIT, Firefox 111.0.1

 

hmm i cant reproduce this, was ist fine with 1.8.1 ?

 

mmh... looks like this was the case since 1.0.xx already

 

Was fine with 1.8.1

Code:

try DeprecatedTokenHacks=y

 

No crash with DeprecatedTokenHacks=y + EnableMiniDump=y

 

ok that narows it down, i wonder though why for me it worked without that one,
anyone else with this issue?

 

i was able to reproduce the firefox issue on an other test vm looking into it now, worst case we wil keep one of the old workarounds still in place...

 

Hmm, where is the compatibility wizard in 63.2?

Now 63.2 detects the browser Catsxp that i use, which it did not before. But still it is needed to add a self created template manually, which is not something that is intuitive, the items that one wants to get saved, for example, for this or any odd browser. A new user would not have a clue. To use the existing Google chrome template, since it is a chrome browser, did not work. I thought that the feature of using the chrome template or the Firefox template, for any chrome or Firefox browser, should be present in this build.

Or am i missing something.

 

So only in Plus, will it come to Classic?

 

Classic is not under active development we just carry it along as its no extra afford, so don't expect any non trivial new features to be added to the old UI.

 

Ok.

When adding Catsxp it did not save the adding, box ticking of the new box "Catsxp", even though i saved. Did it again, This time it frozee the whole Gui. Closed it. When opening, it did not work as it should, so when clicking within it, it froze. Over and over. Restarted Pc. Sandman could not connect to driver, driver not started.

The uninstall process of S-Plus hardly worked either.

About the adding; after adding a new browser, how do i choose what items for it to add, like in the existing templates?

 

After uninstalling and reinstalling, it functioned. So now it runs fine.
But i still wonder how to choose what i want to save or accept access to for Catsxp.

 

Ha. Now when i did the action all over, another window surfaced that did not show before, where the actual item for adding the browser surfaced, so now it works. But it is obviously a bug in there.

The browser gets identified automaticly now, very good, and adding the template with necessary items is as simple as i suggested from the beginning, so all in all, 5 stars MrDX. This is smooth even for new users, but after some searching.

But as mentioned, i experienced some sort of misfortune so probably some bug exists.

Send me the language files and necessary info by Pm so i can translate all that needs to. Now it is Swenglish to a large degree.

 

Thank you (FWIW).

Bo

 

I got these interesting errors today, right after upgrading to plus 1.8.2. This was when I tried to launch Librewolf, which worked fine in every previous version.

 

@n8chavez does DeprecatedTokenHacks=y fixes this for you?
