Windows 11 - Install Sandboxie on another drive

Post by delakut »

I have noticed a problem. When I install Sandboxie on another drive like "C:\Program Files\Sandboxie-Plus" for example on "D:\Sandboxie-Plus\" I get an error message "DLL Initialization failed" when I open Firefox, Chrome or Edge with Sandboxie. The full error message is "Initialization of the dynamic link library D:\Sandboxie-Plus\SbieDll.dll" failed. The process is terminating abnormally."

When I install Sandboxie on the default folder "C:\Program Files\Sandboxie-Plus" everything works like it should.
I tried this on a clean "Windows 11 22H2" installation.

For me untypical locations work just fine,
could you try the following things
1. check if the permissions of D:\Sandboxie-Plus\ include the everyone group and allow read and execution to everyone
2. try a location like D:\tools\Sandboxie-Plus\ instead
