The Sandbox Automation Tool provides a lightweight desktop environment, Windows Sandbox, to safely run applications in isolation. Software installed inside the Windows Sandbox environment remains segregated from the host machine. The sandbox is temporary, and upon closure, all associated software, files, and states are deleted.

script.ps1
This is a PowerShell script file. It contains code to interact with the user, receive parameters, generate the sandbox configuration file, and execute the provided executable within the sandbox.

sandbox_configuration.wsb
This is a Windows Sandbox configuration file. Windows Sandbox provides a lightweight desktop environment to safely run applications in isolation. The sandbox_configuration.wsb file likely contains settings such as virtualized hardware configurations, networking settings, and other parameters necessary for setting up the sandbox environment.

script.exe
This is an example executable file. Executable files contain instructions that a computer can execute directly. In this context, script.exe is the file that will be run within the sandbox environment created by script.ps1.
