Describe the problem
In some instances, the working directory is not being set correctly in Sandboxie Plus.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download Electrum Portable from https://electrum.org/#download
  2. Initialize a wallet
  3. Review Sandbox directory
  4. Note that electrum_data is being created inside SysWOW64: DefaultBox\drive\C\Windows\SysWOW64\electrum_data

Expected behavior
As with previous versions of Sandboxie, the directory is correctly created inside the working directory, next to the executable. In my case, it should be on the Desktop: DefaultBox\user\current\Desktop\electrum_data

System details and installed software

  • Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 64-bit
  • Sandboxie-Plus-x64-v1.0.3

Additional context
Some applications like Telegram seem to work correctly. In this case, it's just Electrum that seems to be misbehaving.

I believe it was introduced in Sandboxie Plus. I tried both Sandboxie Plus v0.9.8.4 and Sandboxie Classic v5.53.3. It seems to work correctly in the Classic build, but not in the Plus build.
