    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?
    C
    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.

      Chrome doesnt even let me download the file, tells me it is malicious… I will try in another browser, but it seems they have bigger fish to fry :-)

        IE is blocking the file too… what did you download it with? I am assuming it is safe of course?

          The file is 110% safe. I use firefox without any problems. If you have further problems, I am more than happy to d/l it for you and u/l it to my web space and mediafire.

          OT:- FWIW, Google has bought Virus Total.

            in all seriousness, you could report to them that both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer refuse to download their software and flagging it as malicious download… You would think they would want to know that and fix it asap :-).

            I will try with Firefox next.

              @drteeth:

              Hi,

              I invariably get an error (CRC) when trying to unzip the file from http://launcher.nirsoft.net/download.html. The latest one (filename ending in ‘02’) had the error.

              I always have to repair them before I can extract the contents without any errors. The author has been quite on the issue and you guys can shed any light on this. The is the ONLY file that gives an error when unzipping.

              It would be nice to tell the developer that it is NOT PA’s fault but his.

              DrT

              i just tried it in shell and worked fine? Maybe your ISP cached bad download?

                I get the problem with most of the versions…it is updated frequently. PA always manages to fix it without any probs so it is not a big issue.

                The software does cause issues with security software, but it is a collection of brilliant utilities and does warrant a look.

                Thanks

                  does this 02 version work for you or?

                  if it does, it might be the issue between your ISP and theirs. And PA repair tool being able to correct the error that happens during download…

                  If 02 version does work for you as well, next time it does not, upload it to something and send us a link…

                    Hi,

                    The 02 version does not work for me. I get a CRC error as soon as I start extracting the contents.
