I used to run this already sketchy software with its even sketchier crack on my old notebook because I really didn’t give a fuck about how syphilitic it was, but now that I need it again and only have my current device, I’m kinda worried.

ps: it needs internet connection.

    Replace the symlinks in the c/users/<username> directory with directories. And sandbox wine.

    Edit: oops, on Windows. Is sandboxie still a thing?

      You can still download the old gui version for free. I use it to run a second simultaneous instance of AmScope software on a device at work. (Two microscope feeds on same screen for x y viewing)

      I’m not totally clear on how sandboxie plus comes into play as one or both versions are open source

      Sandboxie is old, but these days Windows has a sandbox built in. You could use that (basically a lightweight VM) or a full VM. Windows also has a built-in hypervisor for VMs that helps them run efficiently.
