    Question Regarding License
    S

    Hello @Mili,

    thanks for your help in getting my PowerArchiver CommandLine license (Re: License Code Not Working / Missing) and sorry for my late reply. I do check my spam folder regularly and couldn’t find a mail from support. Also, there was no mail in my backups or any mention of it in my email logs.

    I have a question regarding my licenses in the hope you are able to help me:
    While my account lists “PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English - Count 2”, this does not apply for PACL, which was included with my purchase. My account shows only PowerArchiver Select - 12 months of upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Command Line - Single User License.

    Since PACL was included with PowerArchiver Toolbox, shouldn’t PACL also come with a lifetime license for 2 PCs?

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    PACL 9.0 Beta 2
    S

    Version:
    PACL 9.00 Beta 2

    What’s New since version PACL 7:

    Updated to PowerArchiver 2017 engine Fully unicode interface RAR v5 (v4) support PAE2 support

    Latest format support and all the various engine updates done in PA 2017.
    Full support for .PA format with many different options and switches.

    Download:
    http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2017/PACL900-170429.EXE

    Due to the support of new PA format and all the changes needed for that support, we decided to move up version number to PACL 9. This is purely cosmetical - companies who purchased PACL8, have PACL9 now added to their orders. Users who have free upgrades for PACL8, now have PACL9 added as free upgrade (Business users with active select (pro/tbx), all personal users (pro/tbx).

    Since we are finalizing PA 2017, we can also now spend a lot more time on PACL9.

    Please check your bugs, and check .PA support as well.

    Thank you! @Alpha-Testers

    The PACL does not extract files from the self-extracting archive
    M

    My OS: Windows XP Home Edition, SP3
    The version number and date of the program: PowerArchiver Command Line v9.00b [Feb 23 2019]

    The program not extracts one self-extracting file.

    How to reproduce the problem

    Download the SFX file by link: install.exe
    Copy the “install.exe” file into the same location as the program is located.
    Go to the DOS prompt. Make your PACL location the default drive.
    If it is on the E drive enter the command E: and press enter. Replace “E:” with the appropriate drive letter.
    Enter command cd e:<path name> to go to the location where the program resides.
    Enter command:

    paext32 -o+ -p"install" "install.exe"

    As a result, the “install” directory will not be created and no
    files will be extracted.

    The “install.exe” file may be damaged but if you use a program such as 7-Zip or PeaZip to extract the files, the extraction process is successful. I want the PACL to also unpack such a file.
    This problem is very critical for me. I often come across this. I do not want to resort to using other compression program.

    PACompXX problem with file name syntax
    B

    Hi,
    there’s a problem with PAComp and file names with a leading ".\ ".
    That’s nowadays a problem, since PowerShell auto complete will complete a file test.zip in the current directory to .\test.zip.

    0_1524826660985_pacomp.png

    The first command reports “All OK”, but test.7z is not created.
    The second command reports an error, but the error message isn’t helpful at all. VSS doesn’t help anything if a program fails to write to a file. It’s for reading locked files… And the problematic file isn’t mentioned at all. By the way, there’s a typo, it should be “open”, not “opet”.
    Only the third command (without ".\ ") works as expected.

    The problem exists in the x86 and x64 version, it doesn’t matter if the archive already exists (updating) or not (creating a new archive).

    PAConv.bat
    B

    Hi,

    I’ve made changes to fix some problems with PAConv.bat:

    1. Replaced the “” by () in the first two lines, so that it’ll work with command line arguments in quotation marks
    2. Replaced deltree with rmdir, since deltree is unknown at least in Windows XP and later
    3. Also replaced the del command, which left an empty $PATEMP$ directory with rmdir
    4. Changed $PATEMP$ to “%TEMP%$PATEMP$.%time::=%”, so that no write privileges are needed in the current directory as the users Temp directory is used and that more operations will work simultaneous, as long as they are not started at the very same time.
    5. Changed %n to “%~n” to allow parameters with spaces and quotation marks

    if (%1)==() goto help if (%2)==() goto help SET PATMPDIR=%TEMP%\$PATEMP$.%time::=% if exist "%PATMPDIR%" rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" mkdir "%PATMPDIR%" paext -e -d -p"%PATMPDIR%" "%~1" echo. pacomp -a -r -p -w "%~2" "%PATMPDIR%\*.*" echo. rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" SET PATMPDIR=

      I’m trying to eval PACL v5.00b2 with the following command:

      pacomp -a -r -c1 -sep db.zip “d:\backups\DataBases*.BAK”

      It prints the standard header “PowerArchiver Command Line……” and then exits, no error, no files not found, nothing.

      My end goal is to help automate my sql server backup zipping for offsite storage, so the addition of the “sep” param seems a really good fit.

      I was able to run
      pacomp -a test.zip *.exe

      in the c:\pacl directory to validate it was working.

        I believe -s requires that the password be input

        so command should be
        pacomp -a -r -c1 -sPassword -e -p db.zip “d:\backups\DataBases*.BAK”

        Your version could be trying to use ‘ep’ as the password or is that what you meant :confused:

          ah… nope I was trying to use the new param “sep” for create separate archives. Either way pacomp isn’t reporting any kind of error to let me know something went wrong.

            Ah - Ok.

            Tried
            pacomp -a -r -sep \testing\ignore.zip “\testing*.jpg”

            Almost works for me (OK in the target folder: testing) I also get the file by file output listing.; so I cannot explain the no messages as you report.

            But the subfolder recursion doesn’t work :mad:

            Note 1: which drive:folder are you running the command from - pacomp needs target info from the archive name; with your example would be in “current” folder.

            Note: Cannot test with different drives, on this PC sorry.

            Edit - just had a thought - if recursion is not working, then there may be no messages if your Backups\databases folder has NO .BAK files to compress.
