Unable to install Edge extensions. Could not unzip extension

ghost commented 1 year ago

Describe what you noticed and did

I can not install some Edge extensions due to 'Could not unzip extension' error. It works if I delete Sandboxie.ini, create new box and add Template=Edge_Fix to [GlobalSettings]

I couldn't reproduce the issue. Tested on VM:

Windows 11 22H2 [22621.1105]
Microsoft Edge Version 109.0.1518.61 (Official build) (64-bit)
ESET is not installed

How to troubleshoot it? There is nothing in SBIE messages

Sandboxie-Plus > View > Enable Trace Logging

From lower pane > Select: Trace Log > Disable: Monitor Mode > Select Type: File and Status: Closed

Start the Edge browser in sandbox and try to install the extension and close the browser after getting the error.

Selecting the sandbox from the list will show if there is any blocked file/folder access.

If there is no blocked access, the problem may be caused by another program.*

If there is blocked access, you may need to change the file rules accordingly.

Try with the new browser profile.

*You can monitor file system activity using Process Monitor. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon

Thanks, I will take a look at that.

I commended out pretty much everything from global section and replaced sandbox settings with default from default sandboxie.ini. The issue still occured

Delete Sandboxie.ini
Create new box
Add Template=Edge_Fix to Sandboxie.ini in [GlobalSettings]
Open Edge in the sandbox you just created
SponsorBlock for YouTube can be installed
Clear the content of the box
Add ClosedFilePath=%SystemDrive%\Users*\Music* to Sandboxie.ini in [GlobalSettings] https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/issues/2039
Reload the .ini file twice if you used 3rd party program to edit it! I will add more info here https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/discussions/2633

your ClosedFilePath=%SystemDrive%\Users\Music is to unspecific and blocks the icon file for the extension, or something along this line.

fix your closed path and problem solved
