Application: Sandboxie
Category: Utilities
Description:
Sandboxie is an open-source sandboxing program for Microsoft Windows. Sandboxie creates an isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local system. This virtual environment allows for controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing.

Note:
Dev Test 6 will probably be my last Sandboxie release since the open-source Sandboxie-Plus version has matured enough and already has its own portable mode (using SandMan.exe, Qt based app). The one released here doesn't include it (SandMan.exe) though, so it has somewhat smaller size. Still, you can replace this one with older/newer Sandboxie release by replacing files inside "Sandboxie" and "Sandboxie64" folder.
Known Issues:
- Driver may not be installed correctly on Windows 7 and lower (upstream driver signature issue).
- If custom sandbox doesn't get detected (empty name, etc), try reloading Sandboxie config (Configure - Reload Configuration).
Changelog:
Dev Test 1 - First release. Sandboxie v5.33.3.
Dev Test 2 - Fixed empty "Sandbox" folder and unable to read "Sandboxie.ini".
Dev Test 3 - Added Explorer context menu just like the original.
Dev Test 4 - Updated base app to latest semi-official release. Fallback "Sandboxie.ini" to WINDIR instead of app directory during runtime (due to Sandboxie inconsistency).
Dev Test 5 - Unified x86 and x64 build. Improved compatibility with non-portable Sandboxie. Removed more (known) leftovers.
Dev Test 6 - Migrate to open-source release (Sandboxie-Plus).
