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.
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

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

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.
Hi
I am trying to understand what is default encryption method for PACOMP -fips command?
And what is the difference if you specify encryption method using e[0,1,2] command?
Using only FIPS:
pacomp -a -ssecret -fips -p stuff.bh “c:\my stuff*.*”
FIPS combined with e2
pacomp -a -ssecret -fips -e2 -p stuff.bh “c:\my stuff*.*”
Hi All
I have archive that holds password protected, encrypted data which is created using something like this:
C:\Temp\ZipTest>pacomp -a -spassword -fips -e2 archive.zip "C:\Temp\ZipTest" -x"C:\Temp\ZipTest\ReadMe.txt"
Then I add regular file into that archive which is not encrypted and not password protected. “ReamMe.txt” sort of file. Using command below.
C:\Temp\ZipTest>pacomp -a archive.zip "C:\Temp\ZipTest\ReadMe.txt"
Now when I extract this archive using:
paext -spassword -p"C:\ZipTest\Temp" archive.zip
Everything extracts correctly except for ReadMe.txt file. File is present but content is empty.
I get following
error: extracting: ReadMe.txt --> CRC ERROR! [100%]
How can I extract archive without corruption ReadMe.txt file?
Does PA (preferably the CL version) have the facility to archive files based on an age?
(I want to be able to move a quantity of files out of a folder and into an archive if (and only if) they’re over 35 days old.
I have an ancient copy of ARJ that can do this (via the -odb switch) but I’d like to use PA, and can’t work out if it’s possible.
Hi in pacomp.vbs by Micke how to preserve the folders structure of the files to compress.:confused: because just compress the files not the folder structure of each file.
thanks

This is about as far off topic as I can type with a straight face, but: can it support Linux? (I’m exasperated by file-roller and p7zip; they take forever) :biggrin:
-
we made linux version of PACL before, never released it though… so yes… probably in time for PAF? then it will be important to release.
-
but thats a LOT of work for linux… it will also mean that we have to do GUI version for Linux, as it is the engine that is the most work.
-
1. Please have the fix for case# 32854 put into this release.
2. Hardware acceleration using any available GPU that supports OpenCL.
3. Create a 64bit zip engine. -
4. Error Reporting for Attended & Unattended Operations
CLI reports errors either to the standard Windows Event Log, or through SNMP (Simplified Network Message Protocol) integration with leading data center management applications -
Without repeating what has already been submitted (requests I concur with), I have the following:
For PACOMP, add the ability to add EFS encrypted files to archive as RAW. Similar to how the /EFSRAW switch works for ROBOCOPY. I want to be able to add EFS files to archives without them being decrypted first.
For PACRYPT, add FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption option.
Provide more detailed documentation. For example, provide thorough examples of the syntax that is required in exclude/include files.
That’s all I have.
Thank you for making and supporting such great software. I’ve been a PA/PACL user since 1999.

but thats a LOT of work for linux… it will also mean that we have to do GUI version for Linux, as it is the engine that is the most work.
If we are talking about a Linux version of PACL I don’t see why you have to do a GUI version since PACL don’t have any GUI
Kind Regards

I would like to have improvements of the -v option in PAEXT.

Didnt start yet on PACL… should start in March.

not yet, not that soon - we decided to add some new format/s to next gen PA, and PACL will have to wait until that work is done (so we can incorporate it into PACL)

Wow it’s been 2 years never been updated…

Dear Spwolf,
How is the next gen PACL and PA coming along?
