DVDFab's crack-detection reports file tampering #1120

DVDFab has a built-in crack-protection, which apparently checks all the installation files for their integrity. When installed in a sandbox, this protection always throws a "program has been manipulated" error. The weird thing is that the installation files are 100% untampered with, they even have the exact same checksums like their un-sandboxed counterparts:

So, is there some part in Sandboxie which prevents the crack-detection from doing its job properly? Or does the crack-protection secretly check for sandboxed environments and therefore fails automatically?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install DVDFab. Direct download link: https://d18.dvdfab.cn/download/58_12043_90a2bd43/dvdfab12_x64_12043.exe
  2. Run the installer in a Sandbox.
  3. When the installer finishes, or when trying to run DVDFab manually, see this error:

System details and installed software (please provide the following information):

  • Windows: Windows 10 Pro 20H2
  • Sandboxie: Sandboxie Plus 0.9.3
  • Antivirus: Windows Defender

Sandboxie configuration
I've tested almost all possible configurations, but it fails even with the loosest security settings.

Well they are probably checking for dll injection or alike and then not want to run,
this sort of DRM is anti consumer and you should demand your money back.
Or since you already payed and are entitled to using it
find a cracked version that will allow you to exercise the usage right you paid for. LOL
