Using Sandboxie v3.64 (64-bit) on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

Hi. I tried to install desura(http://www.desura.com/) inside a sandbox. Desura is a program like steam used for downloading games.

After I downloaded and ran the setup file, it downloads an update and tries to update. I then get an error prompt that says -
"Desura: ERROR" in the title and
"Failed to update Desura: Could not open file \\desura.exe for updating. Win Code: 32[7.0]" in the description.

Has anyone else had this or similar problem or otherwise have been able to run it error free?

Does Desura install anti-cheat drivers or DRM? If it's so then there can be no solution as driver installation in a sandbox is a no go due to security reaons.

Otherwise follow instructions here: www.sandboxie.com/index.php?ResourceAccessMonitor

I don't think desura does drm or anti-cheat. They are against drm as far as i can tell.

Here is my resources access log from running the program up to when i get the error:

Just registered an account on the forums. This is my new id(formerly Guest201).

I ran the setup again and opened the resource access monitor at the part just before the error and I got this -

Just in case the last post had too much information.

Hmm.. is there a possible fix?
Im getting the same error on every new try by updating Desura in a box. D:

Thanks for the problem report. I'll take a look into this when I have some time.

This issue is still present in Sandboxie.
