I was intrigued by that weird absolute path C:\sist\
so I digged further and found this:
That's a BDE installation that comes bundled with a certain proprietary legacy software that I have installed outside of Sandboxie.
So I combed the registry and found the origin of weird absolute path:
Then I re-opened regedit inside the sandbox, and renamed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\WOW6432Node\Borland
to something else:
And it works!! 🥳🥳🥳
I did get a whole bunch of other error messages, but the installer would let me Ignore them.
I don't know if this issue still stands as a bug... Uh tell me
[!NOTE]
If you trust the installer, you can try the following settings.SETTINGS
Remove this setting from [Delphi_7]:
DropAdminRights=y
Add this setting to [Delphi_7]:
MsiInstallerExemptions=y
After installation, you can revert to the old settings.

When you say "If you trust the installer" I'm not sure what to think of...
I'm 100% sure that it will not try to launch a malicious attack against my machine so that it joins some sort of North Korean botnet.
On the other hand, I'm much less confident that it wouldn't accidentally try to do something really dumb that messes up my delicate Jenga piling of legacy systems.
(Which is the reason I'm going for Sandboxie in the first place...)
That said, should I be worried about switching DropAdminRights
and MsiInstallerExemptions
? I don't have a clue about their inner workings...
@hhmmjjnn as long as you run it sandboxed in any sandbox even the green with admin rights, and don't open all COM access, any non purposfully maliciouse applciation will be fully containes. A green sandbox with admin rights is only unsafe with regard to processes which have been intentionally crafted to bypass the isolation.
