    Windows 11 Shell Extension crash
    W
    Copied the Take Command shortcut, changed Target to be wt.exe -p “Take Command” and saved it. Right-clicked to get to properties and Explorer crashed. (wt.exe is the Microsoft Terminal program, which I have installed from the Microsoft Store.) The Target path had changed to: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe -p “Take Command” Created a new shortcut in a Start Menu folder and set the command line to the same, and it crashed the same. Created a new shortcut and set the command line to mspaint.exe (also a Windows Store app) and Explorer crashed on right-click on the shortcut. It appears PowerArchiver shell extensions doesn’t handle Windows Store apps in shortcuts properly. Perhaps it needs better defensive coding around checking the Target of shortcuts, or just ignoring shortcuts altogether. Running PA 22.00.11 on Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.6584

    Affected by winrar/.rar vulnerability?

    Was Power Archiver affected by the WinRAR/.rar vulnerability discovered by ESET researchers recently? Not sure if PA is using their libraries for extraction.

    Ultimate zip was made by powerarchiver
    D
    From google search AI Overview Yes, that’s correct. UltimateZip was indeed a product of the same company that developed PowerArchiver, and it was essentially a rebranded version of PowerArchiver. It was discontinued and replaced by PowerArchiver.

    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT
    Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D
    Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 . The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg I know it has non standard quotes in it. However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip. Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it. Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver. When will a fix be implemented?

    PA2023 22.00.09 trying to delete a directory from a tar file.
    Brian GregoryB
    I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023. PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more. I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result. This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.

      @Zawilec:

      When I try to open rar archive split into parts I get Reading folder message and nothing happens., progress bar remains 0% and Windows reports that application is not responding. There is no activity on the disc (nothing is being read from the filesystem)

      Windows 7, 64 bit.

      how are you opening it, shell or main pa? Did you try both methods?

      What version of PA are you using?

      And can we download it somewhere? If it is torrent, you can email it to us via support @ conexware . com

      I doubt it has anything to do with 64bit or Win7.

        It happens all the time, does not matter how I open it. Through shell menu or directly from the opening menu.
        Here is the archive I can reproduce the problem with: http://rapidshare.com/files/277310151/PAwithrecovery_test.7z.html

        PA Version 11.60.12

          I’m having the same issue, but PowerArchiver can’t open ANY rar files, Win7 64bit RTM Final build.
          Using 11.60.10

          I have tried opening PA first, then going to File->Open Archive, at which time PA is busy processing, but never finishes and is unresponsive.

          I have tried right clicking on rar archive and going to Extract Here, which produces the same results.

          I also tried just double clicking the rar archive in Explorer and same behavior occurs.

            Correct, I double checked and regular rar files also affected, so it does not matter if the archive is split or not. Any rar file will freeze PA.

                        If that does not help, check 11.50 official release… install it and see if that works for you.

                        There were changes to that dll between 11.50 and 11.60….

                              This one fixed the issue. I replaced my DLL with the one in the Zip file and PA now opens RAR files.

                                    Hi guys,

                                    we have new dll for you to test. Please extract attached dll to your PA folder and let us know if these files that failed in your reports above, work fine now. It seems that ICC has had big issue which might have caused it - just making sure this has been fixed.

                                    thanks!

                                    here is the file:
