    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.

          Yes, I uninstalled it. Deleted all registry entries. Installed again and does not start. I have Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013.

            All right, installed it again, with anti-virus disabled, and still no go. Installed version 13.01.03 and it works perfectly. So, there’s really something wrong with this build.

                  Antivirus cant be disabled except with uninstall. If you just disable it via switch, it still works. I tested it on Virus Total few days ago and now again and it has no false positives so it shouldnt be that. I will still try to download Kaspersky myself and try it but….

                    Kaspersky detected no threat, and nothing was deleted/quarantined.

                      did you try going into program files and launching it by itself? (powerarc.exe)?
                      If not, try it… and try backup and burner too… what happens?

                        I tried PABackup.exe, PABurntools.exe and Powerarc.exe manually and none of them works, just the same nothing happens.

                            do you see ConeXware, Inc as signature when you doubleclick on installer? If so, that it is properly downloaded, otherwise signature would be broken.

                            You tried both full install and PB update I guess?

                            I will check with team tomorrow on what has changed on all 3 executables. What about pastarter, that works?

                              Installer’s digital signature is authentic and it is not broken, so installer is ok.

                              First I updated it using PatchBeam, and noticing that it did not work, rebooted computer. Then tried again, no luck. Uninstalled, deleted registry entries and installed again, and again, nothing.

                              PAStarter.exe works, I get icon on system tray, but If I select to launch PowerArchiver, nothing happens.

                              Meanwhile, I will have to use version 13.01.03 until you figure the problem.
