Average Size of a Sandbox
Hi, I realise that sandboxes can be all different sizes depending on the application, but does anyone have a average size (across a mix of applications)? Thanks

Hi,
It is not possible to determine the average size of sandbox. Because it depends not only on the application that the sandbox belongs to but also its isolation modes and CachePath settings.
regards.

How can it depend on Cachepath settings? I have an application using a 23MB da2-file in %ProgramFilesDir% to save configuration settings, so I have a copy of that file in every sandbox.

Content from ThinApp manual (page 66):
-
The CachePath parameter sets the path to the cache directory that stores font files and stub executable files.
-
and,
-
Using a USB key might involve forcing the sandbox on to the USB key. If you store packages in the \VirtApps
directory on the USB key, you can force the cache directory to reside on the USB key.
CachePath=Sandbox

So, if you are saving fonts in your sandbox using Cachepath, it will keep changing its size with entry of every new font.
