I use Sandboxie v 3.36.04 with Vista Ultimate.

Just recently when I have tried to install programs in sandbox I have run in problems. The usual error messages are:

SBIE 2313 Could not execute Sandboxie RpcSs.exe (267)
SBIE 2204 Cannot start sandboxed service RpcSs (0)

The most recent example is Recuva (http://www.recuva.com/).

I have enabled Sandboxie to "Run as UAC Administrator" and the is no Drop Rights restriction in the sandbox settings.

I am I doing something wrong or have I just been unlucky with the software I have tried to install sandboxed.

Many thanks.

Error 267 means "the directory name is invalid" which is a curious error here. Did you install Sandboxie into the default Program Files location or did you choose some other location?

Sandboxie installed into default directory - C:\Program Files\Sandboxie

Which directory is invalid? RpcSs.exe??

If it is a problem with Sandboxie, I could uninstall and then reinstall (better than reinstalling over existing version??).

Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall without losing my Sandboxie settings, sandboxes + their settings etc, etc.


Please see my other reported problem "Problems Running Programs in sandbox". I have just gone back to Sandboxie v 3.34 and this installation problem has gone away.

Problem with v 3.36?? Conflict with Vista??

I use Vista Ultimate and Sandboxie v 3.36.04

This is a recent problem. Certainly did not exist with v 3.34. Not sure if this is the first time I have tried to run a program in v 3.36.04??

When I try to run a program sandboxed (eg Skype) 3 sandboxie programs start up, viz:

Start.exe
SandboxieRpcSS.exe
SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe

but nothing further happens. Skype does not start.

I tried reinstalling Sandboxie 3.36.04 (did not unistall first - just installed over old version) but problem was still there.

I have gone back to Sandboxie v 3.34 and everything works fine.

A problem with v 3.36?? I s this connected with my other reported problem - "Problems installing in Sandbox"??

I think that there is a problem with Sandboxie v 3.36.04.

See my posts:

Please help.

So now that's three topics to say you're having problems in version 3.36. On which one do we talk?

Sorry. Did not mean to be difficult. I thought that it would be easier to bring the two previous posts together as I am fairly sure that they are related. Suggest that we use this post.

These comments about 3.36.04 are made by a Sandboxie supporter (recently upgraded to a paid licence). I want to sort out the problems so that I can return to 3.36.

Over to you.

Thanks for your help.

Last post was mine - forgot to log in!!

Any feedback on this issue???

Using Sandboxie 3.37.06, I can't reproduce -- I downloaded and installed that "Recuva" into a sandbox on Windows Vista without any problems.

Do you use any HIPS software?

I tried recuva, ccleaner and defraggler. Work all fine installed in Sandbox.

I tried to install Recuva in a clean sandbox (ie one just created with the default settings) and all OK.

Problem was mine in terms of settings I had created in my sandbox. Found wrong setting and all now works.

Many thanks for your help. Sorry to waste your time.

As it happens I was able to reproduce error 267. In my situation, it was caused when Sandboxie Control happened to start in some particular directory. And that directory happened to be a ClosedFilePath in some other sandbox. So when running anything in the other sandbox, I got error 267 on SandboxieRpcSs.

Version 3.37.08 should fix that particular instance of the error.
