Sandboxie Control never writes to Sandboxie.ini directly, regardless of the location of the INI file. Modifications always go through the Sandboxie service. So I think you can put back Sandboxie.ini in C:\Windows.

thats not the point, sandboxie control or service.

Sandboxie itself(its service or the control) wants to write a configuration to C:\windows and that is the issue of the error messages. I copied the configuration files to the directory c:\programs\sandboxie and my user has no rights to handle the configuration file at the location of c:\windows.

It finds Sandboxie.ini at C:\Program Files\Sandboxie but wants to write it to C:\Windows




batch installation file that gets these error messages, I described:





batch installation file that gets NO error messages:



thats the Sandboxie.ini

Well in fact it was entirely my point. The INI file is written by the service, and the service is running under the Local System (SYSTEM) account. Is it possible your SYSTEM account can't access C:\Windows? Highly unlikely.

In any case if you want to put the file in C:\Program Files\Sandboxie then just make sure
(1) that there is such file in C:\Program Files\Sandboxie
(2) that there isn't such file in C:\Windows
(3) and then Reload Configuration

Yes youre right about the fact that the SYSTEM account, it can access c:\windows, that was my fault.

(1) yes 100% sure
(2) yes 100% sure
(3) done with reboot

But the Problem really is there, and you can check it easy with my installation script and my configuration above. Of course its really important that there is NO configuration file at C:\Windows.

If theres just a configurationfile at C:\Program Files\Sandboxie you got problems with editadminonly. Please give it a try, thank you

Very well, I will try as you suggest and post an update. I am however curious why once again the SbieCtrl_Xxx settings appear in a section that is not a [UserSetings_Xxx] section. This time they are in your [DefaultBox] section. Last time it was part of the [GlobalSettings] section. Is this a copy/paste oversight?

Ok thanks

No I just updated the configuration file. The right place for the SbieCtrl_Xxx is only UserSettings_Xxx ? I want that any new user uses the SbieCtrl_Xxx Settings at the [DefaultBox].

I think tzuk has made it clear that there is only one place that is appropriate for SbieCtrl_Xxx settings. Use the GUI for your configuration instead of hand editing the INI to prevent errors like this.

Kay, I tried your approach, and fortunately I could reproduce the problem. But it turns out it happened to me because the "template" that I created Sandboxie.ini was not UNICODE. So Sandboxie was just ignoring it.

Please check the Event Viewer and check the System log for any warnings from Sandboxie regarding the configuration file. And keep in my mind the requirement for UNICODE encoding.



Then put them in [UserSettings_Default]. I've addressed this point, and several others that you might find interesting, in a new page advising how to do a corporate install. Please take a look.

thank you for youre help tzuk

I will try it mondays, but I think that was the problem.

The page about the Corporate Installation is also very nice, thanks for that.

I never saw that tutorial, under which point of youre website did I find the link for this tutorial?

once again, thank you for youre help

It's a new page so you could not have found it earlier. You can now find links to this new page in the Download page and the Commercial Licensing page.
