###### *[View the full blog post here](https://www.systanddeploy.com/2023/06/runinsandbox-quick-way-to-runextract.html)*

#### Original Author & creator: Damien VAN ROBAEYS

This allows you to do the below things in Windows Sandbox **just from a right-click** by adding context menus:
- Run PS1 as user or system in Sandbox
- Run CMD, VBS, EXE, MSI in Sandbox
- Run Intunewin file
- Open URL or HTML file in Sandbox
- Open PDF file in Sandbox
- Extract ZIP file directly in Sandbox
- Extract 7z file directly in Sandbox (uses host-installed 7-Zip or downloads latest version)
- Extract ISO directly in Sandbox (uses host-installed 7-Zip or downloads latest version)
- Share a specific folder in Sandbox
- Run multiple app´s/scripts in the same Sandbox session

# How to install it ?
All the steps need to be executed from the Host, not inside the Sandbox

### __Method 1 - PowerShell (Recommended)__
- Right-click on the Windows start menu and select PowerShell or Terminal (Not CMD), preferably as admin.
- Copy and paste the code below and press enter:
```powershell
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Joly0/Run-in-Sandbox/master/Install_Run-in-Sandbox.ps1 | iex
```
- You will see the process being started. You will probably be asked to grant admin rights if not started as admin.
- That's all.

Note - On older Windows builds you may need to run the below command first: \
```powershell
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol=[Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
```

### __Method 2 - Traditional__
This method allows you to use the parameters "-NoCheckpoint" to skip creation of a restore point and "-NoSilent" to give a bit more output
- Download the ZIP Run-in-Sandbox project (this is the main prerequiste)
- Extract the ZIP
- The Run-in-Sandbox-master **should contain** at least Add_Structure.ps1 and a Sources folder
- Please **do not download only** Add_Structure.ps1
- The Sources folder **should contain** folder Run_in_Sandbox containing 58 files
- Once you have downloaded the folder structure, **check if files have not be blocked after download**
- Do a right-click on Add_Structure.ps1 and check if needed check Unblocked
- Run Add_Structure.ps1 **with admin rights**
