    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
    spwolfS
    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 PA Team ConeXware, Inc.

    The PACL does not extract files from the self-extracting archive
    Michael72M
    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. … Michael

    BigMikeB
    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 spent many hours trying to figure out how to use PACOMP to add about 50 Gb to a spanned 7z archive with AES256 encryption, and have yet to be successful. I’ve tried every combination of switches I can think of, with no success. Can someone offer a combination of switches that is known to work for this kind of task? All I have been able to make is a set of spanned files that PA cannot open.

        Yes, I know that, but the error message doesn’t indicate that the parameter p is the problem.

        Maybe this should be mentioned in the documentation of PACL that the command -p in combination with a list file could cause error messages if the list file contains more than one row.

        Kind Regards

            Thanks, the reason for bringing this up again was that the first test indicated that there was always error messages when using list files with multiple lines. When I found out that it worked with more than one line by using the P parameter I thought that maybe it wasn’t a bug but incorrect parameter setting.

            Anyway, thanks for the information. Looking forward the next update of PACL

              It doesn’t come up with the ‘*** ERROR (): DefaultDir’ message (as it does with -p) but what you do get, somehow, is duplicate files as shown above.

                My guess is that you have the same directory and file structure in both computer shares. The files will be added to the archive with full path, but the path is the exactly the same on both computer shares.

                I’ll probably be able to reproduce this when using different drive letters if the path and files is the same on both drives.

                I have also been successful with use of the -p parameter on multiple line list files on some occasions. I need to do some more tests to see how I can recreate a successful results with the -p parameter and multiple line list files.

Q:\>

                  The duplicate files is logic because the path is exactly the same in both rows except for the drive letter. It’s a bug because obvious nobody have tried using same path and filenames but on different machines and/or drive letters before. :)

                          open up an wish in wishlist thread… it would be some new option to store drive letters and network locations i guess.

                            Hi!
                            I have now tested using listfile with 2 rows in it and use the parameter -p (store relative path names). Here’s the result from that test using PACL 6.02

                            Content of Listfile_Doublerow.txt

                            Q:\Dokument\Amiga\*.pcx
R:\Cinemaware\*.adf

```Create the archive using -p parameter and the created listfile.

                            D:\PACL_Test>pacomp -a -p Test_PACOMP_ListDouble.zip @Listfile_Doublerow.txt

The same error happens with PACL 6.02 as with PACL 6.01

                              The result is the same as with 6.01\. I don't know if there's a option for storing \\machine\sharename in the path when creating a archive like this.

                                  so compressing from network shares works, but it doesnt save share name?

                                    That’s correct. From what I can see PACL 6.02 behave and stores the path exactly the same as PACL 6.01.

                                    Now usually this is not a problem as long as the paths are different in the list file. In these test only the sharename is different resulting in a problem when the rest of the path is exactly the same.

                                    Personally I would like to have a parameter when using PACOMP that says store the <machinename>\ <sharename>in the path when creating archive. If the parameter isn’t used, then the result would be as it is now without storing <machinename>\ <sharename>in the path.

                                    Kind Regards

                                      Couldn’t you just treat the <machinename>and <sharename>as folders when in the zip? That way you wouldn’t need a parameter and would be compatible with all archive types. That would be cleaner.</sharename></machinename>

                                        thats how it is usually done - as part of the path, but it should be optional since not everyone wants to have it… it is drive letter and network share.

                                          it is drive letter and network share.

                                          I don’t understand what you mean by this. Can you give me an example?

                                          Thanks.

                                            Hi!

                                            This is only my personal rendering of what spwolf wrote, so I may be wrong about this.
                                            There are two occasions when this would be nice to have as an option

                                            1. When you have 2 different driveletters with the same path in the list file. Something like this
                                            P:\PACL_Test\Foldertest\*.*
Q:\PACL_Test\Foldertest\*.*

```Since the path is exactly the same except for the drive letter the result will be the same as we have created using \\<machinename>\<sharename>\

2) When you have 2 different sharenames with the same path in the list file. Something like this

                                            \TestPC\Public\PACL_Test\Foldertest*.*
                                            \TestPC\Install\PACL_Test\Foldertest*.*

                                            Micke</sharename></machinename>
