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.
Cab compression
-
I have files which will not compress using the Cab format (or at least may require at lot longer than even 7zip to complete - I gave up and cancelled compression).
Is there any chance PA can get an update of the Cab dll or should I just avoid Cab with these files?
Edit: example attached (5MB when uncompressed) - just for completeness (I think this is a limitation and not bug as such).
-
Thanks!
I will look into this for v9.1 - if the problem is just with new CABINET.DLL, if you find this DLL you can copy it to PA’s folder and Windows\System32 folder. Also inform me, where I can get this DLL.
We need at least two weeks to test new DLL before releasing final version, so definetelly for 9.1, since update 9.0 will be release tomorrow.

You mis-understood.
The “problem” is with the current dll from PA 9 {1.00.603 08/14/97?}
I was asking if you were able to get an update - I don’t have one. -
No, I don’t have update - but I will look into it.
Also, If I did have I wouldn’t just put it in PA distribution - we need some test to test any new DLL (also CABINET.DLL) before we can distribute it normally.
-
I remember that previously, when I tested few files that simply did not want to get archived properly with cabinet.dll I found it out to be their dll bug and using newer dll didnt help at all (i very much doubt it is really developed anymore). It simply didnt work with certain files. I will check it out again.
thanks,
