Several days ago I upgraded to the latest version of CIS as notified to me by the Comodo Updater when performing its routine upgrade check.
After the upgrade Sandboxie 3.72 (www.sandboxie.com) stopped working. I have tested this on a second machine and found that it also affected Sandboxie on that unit.
I have attempted to uninstall on both machines and reinstall (as opposed to an update) and I’ve also tried to install CIS first and then Sandboxie after (and vice versa). Also tried using default configurations (instead of my saved export config).
Note I am using CIS’ firewall only (not using Defense+).
The error from Sandboxie is SBIE1116 (http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?SBIE1116).
As a result of this issue I have uninstalled and reverted back to 5.10.228257.2253.
