    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.

      Hey all,

      I’m not too sure about this problem really, it would seem my Powerarchiver (im on the latest version) has a problem with closing or shutting itself down.

      When extracting via shell or opening the program everything runs fine.
      However when I click the “Close” X button instead of closing instantly it hangs for about 20second, going into not responding. I also noticed after clicking close the CPU maxed out at 100%.

      Any idea what this might be? Im running Windows 7 and latest versions, dont think I had this issue when was running it on XP. Are there any “cleanups” or “unloading” processes that it runs though when its closed that could be showing it down?

      Anyways hope you can fix as it is slowing down the process of jumping in and out of multiple zip files.

      If you need any more info or if anyone else has found this please say.

        No such problem on my Win7 32bit.
        You could run Process Monitor to see what is going on.

              Im running Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 however the problem still happens when this is closed/exited/completly unloaded from the processes.

              As for process monitor this revealed alot more information. I could post the output if requested but it is a bit long. However from the looks of things the it looks like its accessing and changing a lot of registry values.

              Mainly the subkeys for Stats, Columns, General, Shellex and Profiles are being accessed/edited . From start to finish the close time on the program is 35 seconds.

                You need to update Kaspersky to patch b I believe and then restart your computer. Their patch b fixed this issue with PowerArchiver.

                  Nope, already have that patch installed, its also a note that this issue has been across the last couple of powerarchiver versions and i suppose the last couple of antivirus versions as well, all of which auto update.

                  I have sent an email to the support inbox (ref 4370 for quickfind) with the reg keys and the process manager log files for powerarchiver processes from when the “Close” button is pressed. Hope they help.

                    yeah, and Kaspersky fixed that issue last week ;-). Are you sure you restarted your computer after installation? Because Kaspersky update wont be completed until restart is done.

                    What language version are you using? English?

                        Yep, restart it daily, it seems like the same issue tho, even from the log files with the registy and kaspersky being turned off, I noticed the zna thing after saw the screenshot too.

                        Yes Im on the English version 9.0.0.736(a.b) however the only diff I could see would be that I am running Kaspersky “Internet Security” rather than just the antivirus although version numbers are identical :confused:

                        Guess the issue should be re-raised with them then…

                          you can not turn off kaspersky as easily as that - you have to uninstall it for it to not work… So even if you “turn it off”, or whitelist PA, it will cause still the same issue.

                          We have had users reporting it for Internet Security as well, and they said it has been fixed.

                          Maybe it got “broken” again? drteeth are you having issue with kaspersky again?

                            i will ask these users that reported it to support as well, to see if Internet Security has been fixed, or maybe that was not fixed originally.
