Win 7, Sandman full cpu, non-existing registry key

Dear forum,


Two small problems:


1. Upgraded from Sbie+ 1.15.4 to 1.15.11 on Windows 7 Home 64.

Sandman cpu usage was now constantly at ~100%.

ProcessMonitor showed Sandman.exe repeatedly doing (and failing) RegOpenKey to the (on my setup, non-existing) key
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" (NAME NOT FOUND result)
(followed by a RegQueryKey to "HKCU") ( SUCCESS result )

I added the registry key and the querying loop stopped.


2. Sandman kept quiet after this, but did - compared to 1.15.4 - consume an extra 1% of cpu,
doing slow ReadFile i/o access on the file
c:\Program Files\Sandboxie-Plus\SandMan.exe
reading the 3,4 meg file in 8 kb chunks.


best regards,
S.
 
  1. In 1.15.5, the HKCU Uninstall key was added to the template scan function. It seems that if no Uninstall (HKLM or HKCU) key is present, the product collection function goes into an infinite loop.
  2. Fixed in 1.15.12 but not released yet.
