Sandboxie Classic installer instructions

To create Sbie NSIS installer environment

Install NSIS 2.5 (installer is located at https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/files/NSIS%202/2.50/)

Later versions will not work with the Sbie NSI file. 2) You will also need NSIS InetC plugin https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Inetc_plug-in 3) From Inetc.zip, copy \Plugins\x86-ansi\InetC.dll to your NSIS plugins folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Plugins) 4) Overwrite C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Contrib\Modern UI\System.nsh with install\nsis_updates.zip\nsis\Contrib\Modern UI\System.nsh 5) Copy language files from install\nsis_updates.zip\nsis\Contrib\Modern UI\Language files to C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Contrib\Modern UI\Language files 6) The install also requires Iconv 1.9.2.1747 (for international language conversion) which can be downloaded from https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm

You need 2 zip files, the `Binaries` and the `Dependencies`. These contain the 3 binaries that are required:
`Iconv.exe`
`Libiconv2.dll`
`Libintl3.dll`

Copy these 3 binaries into a folder under the Sandboxie source tree named `tools\iconv` at the same level as Sandbox.sln (e.g. `C:\src\Sbie\tools\iconv`)

Everything above only needs to be done once. Then your machine should be good to go.

To create the Sbie Classic installers

The Sbie installer NSI file is \install\SandboxieVS.nsi.

Note: this section contains obsolete information, as it is only valid for the old code signing not mediated by Microsoft. Please refer to issue #1248 and open a new pull request to update the following steps:

Sign the binaries (if applicable).
Set the #defines in \common\my_version.h (SBIE_INSTALLER_PATH, etc.) to the location of your binaries. (These #defines are read by SandboxieVS.nsi).
Edit \install\SandboxieVS.nsi and uncomment the !define _BUILDARCH for the version you want to create an installer for.
In Explorer, right-click on \install\SandboxieVS.nsi, and select Compile NSIS Script. The resulting installer binary (SandboxieInstall64.exe or SandboxieInstall32.exe) will be saved to SBIE_INSTALLER_PATH (from my_version.h).
Sign the installers.
To create the combined 32/64 bit installer in Visual Studio, right-click on the SandboxieInstall project, click Project Only -> Build Only SandboxieInstall. This will create a SandboxieInstall.exe in the install folder.
Sign the combined installer.
