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.
PA 22.00.09

Not extracting ZIP file

Powerarchiver 9.00.32
I opened a ZIP file in FireFox 0.9.2 ( http://www.hydrairc.com/download.php?directory=files&file=HydraIRC.zip ), Powerarchiver was automatically run. Then I closed FireFox and tried to extract the files to a directory. Nothing happened. The extract dialog disappeared after clicking the “Extract” button. No files were created. No error report ( as we are used from PA, aren’t we ? )
I deleted PA v8.8 last month, but I decided to give another chance to v9.
I blew it… -
Well, I downloaded that file to hard disk - not opening directly from browser.
Then opened in PA and extracted to a subdirectory OK.
Current version of PA on the download page is 9.00.33
Or, if you come to the forums get a test 9.00.34 here (which I’m using):

this problem is not powerarchiver but a browser problem.
When you clicked the file link with your browser it opened powerarchiver, however when you closed your browser it must have disconected your link and thats why it did not extract.You actually did not download the file otherwise it would have worked
-
Yes, I did download the file. You know, browsers (including FireFox) first download files and then start the program to handle it, not the other way around.
-
Nevertheless, never open files directly from Internet, always save them to your hard drive and then open it. What Firefox did is probably delete the file from its cache when you closed it and then Powerarchiver was not able to extract anything since the file isnt there.
In fact, Internet Explorer wouldnt even let you open the file properly at all.
I agree that PowerArchiver should tell you that the file actually isnt there, we simply didnt take in account that the file might be deleted between the time you open it and the time you extract the file. However - actual file being deleted is not an PA bug but most likely the way your browser handles the files. Since this is the case with most browsers, I definetly reccomend that you should always save the file to the hard drive first.

The bug is, that the user request something ( Extraction, in this case ) from PA, and PA does not do it, and it doesn’t even bother to tell it to the user ( sorry, that failed ).
And this happens all the time. I guess you took some programming shortcuts, eh ?

Didnt I say that PA should have shown an error msg? Yet the fact remains that your file got deleted which is why it couldnt be extracted from - because the file was deleted by your browser not PowerArchiver.
So in the future, save your files directly to the hard drive.

But that is not the “bug” you reported! The title of your post was
“Not extracting ZIP file”When the Zip file does not exist - not extracting from it can hardly be seen as a bug!

Related to the error message(s):
If you open an archive in PA - then delete the file via Windows Explorer - then activate TEST in PA you get this message:#####################################################
Testing archive: Testing.zip – 05/08/2004 09:51
#####################################################File not exist!
#####################################################Should be: File does not exist!
:p -
Small spelling mistake will be fixed in next release!
