Hello!
I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
I use the new version 22.00.11.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
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?
On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

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).
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.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
Win 11 64 bit
I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
For example:
Download this ZIP file: http://dslstats.me.uk/files/dslstats32W-6.5.zip
Everything in the ZIP file is in a directory “dslstats32W-6.5”.
However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !
I am running PA 22.00.09 on Windows 11. I have seen the same happen with some other kinds of archive too.
If I compress a folder to a .pa using right click, Compress to folder.pa and use the new Windows 11 menu then the Options, Configuration, Miscellaneous, Use normal relative path setting is always enabled.
But I like this option disabled so I have to use the old style menu in order to get PA to compress a folder in the way I wish.

Another BH Mystery
-
Using the Archive Converter:
Converting to BH with Maximum Compression creates archives LARGER than using BH with Normal Compression. :eek:
Plus:
Normal Compression produces NO CRC errors.
Maximum Compression produces MANY CRC errors. :(But none of these things happen when creating a NEW BH Archive from the main interface.
Spwolf? Ivan? :(

Thanks!
It should be fixed in BETA 4.

The conversion filesize problem is not fixed in 9.5 beta 4
Original Folder containing 22 text files [1.22 MB (1,290,114 bytes)]
(all using explorer shell)
Compress Folder to BH (normal) -> 376 KB (385,716 bytes)
Compress Folder to BH (maximum) -> 374 KB (383,220 bytes)Compress Folder to TAR.Bz2 -> 310 KB (317,779 bytes)
Convert Bz2 to BH (normal) -> 376 KB (385,716 bytes)
Convert Bz2 to BH (maximum) -> 1.25 MB (1,310,720 bytes) -
Terry, it is not fixed for me either!
Also, the more you convert from another format to BH and back, and then back again to BH, the bigger the archive gets. :eek:
And try this one , Terry:
Try BH with the compression setting at NONE. I get the same compression results as in the NORMAL setting. -

- it does NOT happen converting from TAR.Gz, Zip, Cab or 7z.
@Charles:

Confirmed.
-
“None” setting does not exist in BH, we will remove it in next release. Thanks for checking up with other problem.
-
None setting will work fine from Beta 5.

Tried beta 5 with a folder containing 11 text files [70kB (71692 bytes)]
(all using explorer shell)
Compress Folder to BH (none) -> 71.0 KB (72786 bytes)
Compress Folder to BH (normal) -> 9.64 KB (9881 bytes)
Compress Folder to BH (maximum) -> 9.60 KB (9840 bytes)Compress Folder to TAR.Bz2 -> 4.82 KB (4942 bytes)
Convert Bz2 to BH (none) -> 71.0 KB (72786 bytes) => OK
Convert Bz2 to BH (normal) -> 9.64 KB (9881 bytes) => OKConvert Bz2 to BH (maximum) -> 80.0 KB (81920 bytes) => NOT OK :(
So, “none” setting is OK
But still problem with conversion to BH “maximum”. -

Problem with conversion to BH “maximum”.
Same problem in beta 6.

Same problem in beta 6.
I can confirm this! Something is wrong with the converting process here. (It may have more to do with Bzip.Tar than .BH, but then, I am partial to .BH.) Nothing has been corrected from the previous betas. Beta 6 still has problems.
Also, some mp3 files archived with 7 Zip and then encoded to UU or XX still will not open in Beta 6. Please Help!

Thanks!
The issue should be fixed in Final Beta.
