Note that this project has been build on personal time, it's not a professional project. Use it at your own risk, and please read How to install it before running it.



How to install it ?

All the steps need to be executed from the Host, not inside the Sandbox

Method 1 - PowerShell (Recommended)

  • Right-click on the Windows start menu and select PowerShell or Terminal (Not CMD), preferably as admin.
  • Copy and paste the code below and press enter:
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Joly0/Run-in-Sandbox/master/Install_Run-in-Sandbox.ps1 | iex
  • You will see the process being started. You will probably be asked to grant admin rights if not started as admin.
  • That's all.

Note - On older Windows builds you may need to run the below command first:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol=[Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Method 2 - Traditional

This method allows you to use the parameters "-NoCheckpoint" to skip creation of a restore point and "-NoSilent" to give a bit more output

  • Download the ZIP Run-in-Sandbox project (this is the main prerequiste)
  • Extract the ZIP
  • The Run-in-Sandbox-master should contain at least Add_Structure.ps1 and a Sources folder
  • Please do not download only Add_Structure.ps1
  • The Sources folder should contain folder Run_in_Sandbox containing 58 files
  • Once you have downloaded the folder structure, check if files have not be blocked after download
  • Do a right-click on Add_Structure.ps1 and check if needed check Unblocked
  • Run Add_Structure.ps1 with admin rights
