For some reason I can't launch Internet Explorer 8 sandboxed. The context menu just says "Run Outside the Sandbox" and if I try to add a process manually I get the message above.

I have no problem launching ie8 virtualized with the right click menu.  See attached with both main process and tab treated correctly by Avast! 5 Pro 415.  Wonder what else is on his system?  I can't tell from his writeup what he was trying to do.  Launched both from start menu with right click context menu, and from the "run a virtualized process" box at the bottom of the page.

I thought it be worth mentioning, it's being run in VMware.
