Follow these steps to ensure a secure and efficient setup. Make sure to review the prerequisites before proceeding to each part for a smooth configuration experience.
Requirements
This solution requires the installation of the Windows Sandbox feature. Windows Sandbox is only available in Windows 10 and Windows 11. It is not available in any Windows Server OS, including Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025. You must install this on Windows 10 or Windows 11.聽
To configure the Login Enterprise secure Launcher, you need the following items:
- InstallLauncher.ps1
- Enable_Windows_Sandbox.ps1
- The Login Enterprise Launcher installation files
- SandboxConfig.wsb
- Nssm.exe
- Create_Sandbox_Service.ps1
Step 1: Preparation
1. Enable the Windows Optional Feature Sandbox manually or by using Enable_Windows_Sandbox.ps1. A Reboot is necessary.
2. Create a folder in the root of C:\ named HostFolder.
3. Place InstallLauncher.ps1聽in C:\HostFolder.
4. Download the Login Enterprise installation files from your Login Enterprise Appliance: Configuration > Launchers > Download Launcher Setup.
5. Extract launcher_win10_x64.zip.
6. Copy the folder launcher_win10_x64 to C:\HostFolder.
Step 2: Setting the hostname of the Launcher
7. Edit the appSetting.json file in the launcher_win10_x64 folder.
8. Under the LauncherSettings section, change the LauncherName value to Windows_Sandbox_Launcher or something more applicable to you.
9. Place SandboxConfig.wsb in C:\HostFolder.
10. Doubleclick SandboxConfig.wsb to run the Windows Sandbox and verify that the Launcher is installed and is connected to your Login Enterprise environment.
Step 3: Convert the Windows Sandbox to a Service
1. Close the Windows Sandbox if this is still running.
2. Download nssm.exe from the here: https://nssm.cc/release/nssm-2.24.zip
3. Extract the zip file and place the folder in C:\HostFolder.
4. Download Create_Sandbox_Service.ps1聽and place it in C:\HostFolder.
5. Run Create_Sandbox_Service.ps1.
6. When prompted, select SandboxConfig.wsb in C:\HostFolder.
7. A new service named Login Enterprise on Windows Sandbox should be visible in Services.msc.
8. Start the Login Enterprise on the Windows Sandbox聽service.
9. After a minute or 2, verify that the Login Enterprise Launcher is connected to your Login Enterprise Appliance under Configuration > Launchers.
Step 4: Add additional connector software
To add additional software, such as the Citrix Workspace app or Horizon Client, place the installation file in "C:\HostFolder". Along with the installation files, create a cmd file. For example: CitrixWorkspaceApp.cmd.聽
In the cmd file, specify the installation parameters for the installation file. For example: C:\SandboxFolder\CitrixWorkspaceApp.exe /silent /noreboot /ALLOWADDSTORE=N
Make sure to use C:\SandboxFolder as the root folder as this is what's referred to in the Sandbox machine.
