On my system it worked fine. Try without Malwarebytes.

I did not have Malwarebytes running. Does it need UAC turned on to work?

Edit: I got UAC on, still nothing!

please, I still cannot get my Discord to run!

I have just now for testing installed a discord in into a yellow box build 1.9.8 and it works fine on y clean windows 1 VM, your issue must be related to some configuration you may have, if it happens with a new box then perhaps its a global preset that causes the issues.

I just created a new box with default options and configurations. If its something global, then what do I look for exactly?

DavidXanatos commented 1 year ago

I would recommend to rename your sandboxie.ini to somethign else and let it be recreated with all defaults, then try to install and run discord in the default box, when this works then you can start adding options from your old sandboxie ini line by line using a text editor.

This is the relevant part: Sandboxie.ini location (source 1)

It is also mentioned when you open a new issue here: Sandboxie.ini location (source 2)

Ohh, found it! must have slipped my mind.

Ok, I renamed the Original .ini; let sandboxie created the default file; and it turns out, it still does not work

  1. Attempted to launch both from the .exe inside of the folder AND launch through the Start Menu

This step is not clear to me.

Are you trying to run Discord in the sandbox, while at the same time it is running outside the sandbox?

well, I have my main discord running normally. you already know my full intention with this: have a secondary discord running to use alternative account on it

Troughy commented 1 year ago

For me after installing it, it launched, then after closing it I couldn't start it again. It worked a few days ago Edit: Ok, I got it to launch, I went into security options and enabled the "Make applications think they are running elevated" option, and just launched it from a sandboxed explorer

No! That is still a NO for me-- not working yet

koopa990 commented 1 year ago

You know what. If there is no fixing this, I might as well use my browser instead of sandboxie.

TFWol commented 1 year ago

I have problems with Discord as well, but it's weird. It will run just fine after an initial installation, but will eventually stop working on subsequent starts. Box with Data Protection. It feels similar to the problem I had with #2529 except the mentioned folders are already created.

To get it to start I usually would need to run the installer again where it won't overwrite the existing installation, but will allow it to start.

I haven't looked too much into the problem though since I preoccupied with other stuff.

This happened on me as well. and, when I copied content of AppData\Roaming\discord , it worked at first time, than stops working at second time. I thing it is something that must change in AppData\Roaming\discord , but can't because of Sandboxie limitations. Sandboxie developers need to investigate this very seriously...

MainCube commented 10 months ago

I have the same problem. When I Install the normal Discord and the Beta Version from Discord in the same sandbox, then I can sometimes open Discord (or the Beta Discord) also after the installation. But it´s random if it work or not.

koopa990 commented 10 months ago

I won't be returning to Sandbox until someone suggest a better solution

Yukai-Qian commented 9 months ago

I have Discord 1.0.9019 installed outside sandboxes. It would only work with Sandboxie if I do the following:

  1. Create a new Standard sandbox with all default settings
  2. In Discord: Settings > Advanced > Hardware Acceleration: Off (p.s. if you use a Application Compartment sandbox, you can keep hardware acceleration on, but Standard sandboxes do not work with hardware acceleration currently)
  3. In Sandboxie: Sandbox Options > Program Control > Force Programs, add folders: C:\Users\\\AppData\Local\Discord C:\Users\\\AppData\Roaming\discord In Resource Access > Files, add the same folders.
  4. Then, launch Discord through shortcuts generated by Discord during the installation. If you want to create a shortcut manually, go to the shortcut's Properties > Shortcut > Target, and make sure it says C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Discord\Update.exe --processStart Discord.exe.

However, by doing so, when you launch Discord it always launches in the sandbox. If you want to launch a second instance outside the sandbox, you need to go to Sandbox Options, manually check the "Disable forced Process and Folder for this sandbox" under Forced Programs, launch Discord, and then un-check the box when you want to launch an instance in the sandbox again.
