Windows installer service

cocoon a over 5 years ago

I tried to install a program in a sandbox, but I get a message that the Windows Installer Service cannot be accessed and the installation fails. Is there a way to go around this?

I am getting the same issue with practically any kind of .msi file.

It never used to be a problem in the past. There is some kind of issue with the latest version(s) of Sandboxie.

Is there a more technical explanation why MSI installers stopped working? Did something change in Windows? The MSI installers that used to work (half a year ago) now do not work anymore.
