Describe what you noticed and did

I thought that some of the programs just wouldn't go through the full installation process in sandboxie, so I packaged them in a virtual machine with ThinApp, TurboStudio, etc., and placed them in sandboxie to try and run them, but all failed.

The above issues do not include PortableApps, which packages software that works fine on sandboxie, probably because it is just frequently pasted and deleted without virtualization.

I've provided a link to download a lot of this packaged software. But due to the impact of Windows Update KB5046740 on App-V, should not use Windows 24H2 and above to test a large number of software packages on the Internet from the old version of ThinApp. Unless you test the repackaged software with the new version of the program and the key after they fix KB5046740.

How often did you encounter it so far?

No response

Expected behavior

Some of this packaged software can run in sandboxie. As a means to make up for the software ecosystem, give another way to run software that can't be fully installed at sandboxie

Affected program

Packaged by ThinApp, TurboStudio, etc.

Where is the program located?

The program is installed both inside and outside the sandbox.

Did the program or any related process close unexpectedly?

Yes, it did, but I don't want to share the .dmp file(s) for privacy reasons.

Can I assume that this is another case of file/registry nested virtualization failure under the APP-V mechanism? Like Office, UWP, msStore, #19 ?
