    Is Blink working with Software Virtualization Solution?

    The reason why to use Blink must be well known here.  For completion of use with internet connection i chose the usefull Sandboxie that works with Blink.

    But localy, i need sometimes to install a program just for fun or for testing.  This SVS (Software Virtualization Solution) is usefull for avoid damaging my registry. Is Blink and SVS working together and where can i find a list of compatibility for Blink?

    I hope to get an Answer for this. 

    Regards

    Well, I have been using Blink in Windows XP installed in either of the two VM's with no problems at all for testing, malware hunting, etc:

     1.  VirtualBox:  http://virtualbox.org/

     2.  Parallels:  http://www.parallels.com/

    Jeffrey maby i better explain what SVS is good for. To use a VM of your choice you need to install the OS one more time. With this virtualization solution you just install the program and use the new created virtual environment for installing new programs, like in the VM. SVS is the better choice because you can use the full processor power, and you protect your own registry against unwanted changes. Quick delete of the changes and every bit inside the VS is gone forever.

     Blink to control Windows, Sandboxie for the Browser and SVS for testing new programs before using. Do we need something more?

         Besides Sandboxie are you talking about something like "DefenseWall"?  Is that what your talking about?  It will sandbox any program (pretty much any program) that you want.  I can guarantee though that some "SVS's" will interfer with Blink, maybe not all of them, but some will because of Blink's multilayer/protocol protection methods used.

    I have not tryid DefenseWall and can not compare them. 

    That could be something for Eeye to do and it would be one of the reasons for poeple to buy a product that works with theyr software ;).

    Running Blink and SVS in parallel is less likely to cause any problem.

    What doesn't work is installing Blink on a SVS layer. The results of different installations of Blink on SVS are unpredictable and none of them behaves normally.
