System details and installed software

• What is your Windows edition and version? Windows 10 Home 2004 64-bit
• What is your current Sandboxie edition and version? Sandboxie Plus 1.0.4 64-bit
• What was your previous Sandboxie version before the update, if any? Sandboxie Plus 0.9.8.4 64-bit.
• Also tried on Sandboxie Plus 0.7.4 on a separate machine running Windows 10 Pro 21H1
• Please mention in which version this bug got introduced, because it acts as a guide for testers and developers. Not sure when the issue started.
• Please mention any security software running in the background, even if the real-time protection is disabled. Windows Defender in the Windows 10 default configuration.

If you had a compatibility issue or a crash

• Please add a download link to the program not working properly in Sandboxie. https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_community.exe
• Please consider to take a log and make it available for analysis: https://gist.github.com/lightbord/f0ab141d12c5054858ae0d0ff48e0d17
• Please attach the actual memory dump and NOT the simple output, which often turns out to be insufficient for a proper analysis.

Without testing it this is probably caused by BITS not working when sandboxed, and MSFT likes to use BITS to downlaod stuff.

I'd have been surprised if it worked. I installed some old versions, some years ago, maybe up to 2010, or 2008. Wine is (or was) the same way. I find about half the time just doing a VS update it demands a reboot, so it's doing something with core files.

Creating an offline installer and using that might work.

[Edit] I tried it. No luck. vs_setup.exe is silently terminating not far into the setup process.

[Gravityzwell]

Wine still doesn't work for anything beyond VS 2008

If you're determined, you might get somewhere by installing the different parts. The main setup calls a lot of different MSI's and CAB's, accessible from the offline installer subfolders, as I recall.

[Gravityzwell]

Also it may help to allow the sandbox full access to a folder, e.g., d:\Test\VSSandbox, and point the setup there. Rather than installing into the sandbox.

See #1576 (comment) by @DavidXanatos

In the next preview build 1.1.1 VS2019 and VS2022 will start successfully, but to have your licence recognized you need to open the protected storage, OpenProtectedStorage=y Seams to even work in a regular box, although to use the debugger use of a compartment type box seams required.
