BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

[dragon57]

I just installed the beta 8 version of PA 2007 and noticed it still deletes (or tries to on my machine) startup items from HKCU/Run in the registry when the installer runs. I have a program that blocks additions or deletions unless I approve them, but it shouldn’t be doing this.

The forum search feature doesn’t work for me, so forgive me if this has already been posted.

What exactly it deletes? Beta 8 installer will remove all keys added by Beta 7 due to update issue we had. We fixed it but it will work fine in next update, which is beta 9.

If thats what you meant.

thanks,

It tries to delete entries for two utilities that start automatically when Windows comes up, StrokeIt and Getmail.

[spwolf]

that would be strange - what program are you using for monitoring registry?

thanks,

[dragon57]

I am using Spybot Search & Destroy’s resident program called Teatimer. The funny thing about this is I just installed the latest beta and it tried deleting the same entries as before, plus this time it tried to delete Teatimer from the startup key as well.

[spwolf]

It is big conspiracy :-)

[spwolf]

we will check it out with spybot…

Try uninstalling PA and installing it again. See if it happens again.

If it does - let it delete it, and see what happens (does it actually delete it).

thanks,

[dragon57]

Been there, done that. And yes it does actually delete the entries.

[spwolf]

did you actually uninstall PowerArchiver completly?

[dragon57]

Yes. Can you tell me what registry entries I can manually check to clean everything out after I uninstall? I can try one more time and do a clean install to see if the behavior still exists.

I have had the same problem with the startup entry for Superantispyware. As soon as I uninstalled PA2007 I no longer have a problem with SAS entry being deleted or blocked. I reinstalled 9.64 and no more problems.

Hope this helps,
Normandie

Edit:

I just tried reinstalling PA2007 and the SAS entry in startup was deleted again.

Issue with dissapearing startup items that show in system tray will be fixed in Beta 11. Please note B11 not B10, as change will only work after first update of fixed version (which is B10).

thanks,

[spwolf]

please check with RC1… thanks
It will be fixed, as long as you installed B10 as well (or of course, if RC1 is first install)…

[dragon57]

I just installed RC1 and I didn’t see the problem I saw before. Thanks!
