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.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
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.
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

PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

I’m looking forward to deploying PowerArchiver 2023 to my users. Can you tell us when the MSI will be available for download and distribution?
Thanks.
Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1164/
As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
If I open a password-protected zipper file (created with WinRAR but I think that’s irrelevant), open it with PowerArchiver and run “Remove Encryption” on the same file, then reopen it and add a password with “Encrypt Archive,” the resulting archive will be protected with the old ZipCrypto algorithm and not AES as indicated.
(this can be verified, for example, by trying to open the archive files with Windows Explorer, which does not support the AES algorithm)
PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
Problem with directories/files containing accented characters
-
I don’t know whats wrong …
I use powerarchiver 2006 beta 4 on two different computers.
On the source computer pa has been customized (I have modified some of the default options of the program).
And on the target one, I just installed it without customizing it.
On the source computer I compressed the “my document” folder in a my documents.zip archive.
In my “my documents” folder there are directories/files containing accented characters.
But when I extract the content of my .zip file on my target computer, accented characters contained in directories/files are not translated correctly.
Why ?
What’s the option controlling that ?
IS pa completely unicode compliant ? -
I guess the question is more, is the ZIP format unicode compliant, to which the answer is AFAIK “no”.
The two machines might differ in the system locale setting. Look here http://www.mihai-nita.net/20050611a.shtml to see how to check and change the system (not user) locale.
-
ZIP is not unicode compliant, so for unicode saving/extracting use 7-ZIP. Also, make sure the following things:
- is the “Translate OEM” option (Options -> Configuration -> Misc) same on both machines
- is the System default translation for NONUNICODE filenames same on both - check link that marci send

No, they are strictly the same concerning “local settings”…

Thanks Ivan for those explanations…
Will Zip become unicode compliant a day ? : it is a real drawback of tthis format …
Widely known and the most used today but with this lack of extended characters support I think it is very difficult to use it for those who daily have accented characters in their file/directory names … -
Hi Claude,
you simply have to enable non-unicode support for language you are using, in your language settings @ control panel. This will do the trick.
thanks,
