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.

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.

Backup Express do not take spaced foldernames

Problem/error seen in PA v. 9.00.33….Backup Express running on XP-Home SP1/(2)
Setting up a PBS to backup two folders i.e. “c:\Documents and settings\Folder1” and “c:\Documents and settings\Folder2” does not result in any archive-file (both folders contain several files and sub-folders) :confused: .
By adding one more folder to the backup-list - named without any spaces i.e. “c:\Folder3” - the problem/error does not occur and ALL expected files from …\Folder1, …\Folder2 & Folder3 are added to the archive :D
(Settings: include subfolders & store relative folder)
Using a dummy-folder & -file makes it work for me - but -…please, corrigate in new versions
-
Works for me !?
Win2k - PA 09.00.34 test.
If you want to check - link to the test version is in thread :-
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108If there is still a problem, rename the pbs file to txt and attach it (as I did here).

Inspired by TBGBe’s PBS-file, I have tried using BH in stead of ZIP as archive-format and that makes the difference between :) (BH) and :mad: (ZIP).
Both of the attached PBS-files works with BH and only one with ZIP (PA v. 9.00.34)

Interesting.
Tried again (now on Win98 though so may be different) - Zip fails IF the option “Add timestamp to backup” is selected.
Turn this option off and I think the pbs works. -
Nice.
thanks for the info!
-
Zip still don’t work on XP-Home/SP1(2) :(
-
OK - Now back on Win2k
Here it appears that the “problem” occurs with the Store Relative Folder setting
Active - Fails
Not Active - Succeeds(TimeStamp setting does NOT matter) ?!
Maybe there is also a Op Sys difference?
Both (Win 2k) pbs in attachment.
-
I have tried without activating “Store relative folder” - and IT WORKS (= as seen on Win2K) :)
adding timestamp does’nt matter on XP either (= as seen on Win2K) :)
=> Problem only occur with the combination of “path with spaces” & “Store relative folder” & “archive to ZIP” & running on Win2K or XP (Winver. 5)
PA 9.00.34

Thanks!
The issue will be fixed in next release!

Hi,
please check it with 9.00.35 release:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/powarc90035.exeAnd make sure you test it a bit so there are no other issues.
thanks,

Checked 9.00.35 on Win98.
Using Zip_NOT_OK.pbs as supplied by FredeFup (just changed C: to D: ) :D
PBS now works with both “Add timestamp to backup” and “Store Relative Folder” Active.
