BACKGROUND INFORMATION​

Having just completed the post-installation onboarding (Setup Wizard) -- after I clicked "Finish", I got the following error message:

There was a problem starting `SbieShellExt.dll`. The specified module could not be found.

SBIESHELLEXT.DLL - WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE INSTALLATION​

I'm going to assume that it was either `Explorer` or `Sandboxie-Plus` that tried to load this DLL -- but apparently it was not included in the installation at all, since it's absolutely "nowhere" on my computer.

Sidenote: I've tried searching the forum, using the name of the dll-file as a keyword, but did not find any reports of similar installation issues.

For additional context, I should mention that I installed Sandboxie-Plus on the "D:" drive, instead of "C:" which was suggested by default. Could this be a problem?

Here's a screenshot of the "Sbie Messages" dialog, and it looks like Sandboxie-Plus v1.15.9 is currently unresponsive at the end of the installation. (NOTE: I've already pasted a valid certificate as part of installation, so it should also be properly registered/activated.)

WINDOWS VERSION​

Currently running on:
- Windows 11 PRO, 64-bit, 23H2, 22631.5039

TROUBLESHOOTING (DARN IT)...​


So... this is very frustrating, but how do I solve this? A thousand questions running through my mind:
  • How do I get the required DLL,
  • Where should I place it,
  • What registry entries do I need to fix,
  • Why did the installation give this error,
  • Is there an "issue" with the latest installer,
  • Should we look at this in-depth and fix the installer, or...
  • perhaps this was just a one-off glitch caused by whatever, the position and alignment of the planets?
Do you need to see that full list of properties I selected during the installation, or is there any other information that might be helpful in resolving this?

SEE ALSO​


I made another post about the Sandboxie-Plus 1.15.9 installation and Setup Wizard just recently, and it just might be related to the same issue, seeing as how both are related to Sandboxie Shell Integration. You'll find that message here.
 
Lol, I just replied to the other message as a "warning".

You could install 1.15.8 and then install 1.15.9 over it, or download the installer (run it) and choose to extract, and then copy the missing DLL from the extracted files to the installation folder of Sandboxie-Plus.
 
I'll apply the option to:

- Download the Sandboxie-Plus 1.15.8 installer, choose to extract-only, then copy the missing DLL into the 1.15.9 destination folder.

It seems likely, that I might have to toggle the shell integration on/off for it to be applied, but I'm kinda glad to know that this was a "known issue".

Thanks, Bastik!

I just installed and am getting this same error. I'm unable to find 1.15.8 - where is it?
