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.
Password Problems
-
I used PA 9.50 to ‘ADD’ files to a previously saved archive that was originally created using an older version of PA. It was a backup of key harddrive files.
The hard drive crashed and I now trying to extract the files; but the password does not work. I know the password that was created a year ago under the old version and it does not work.
This is only .zip file….
This is an emergency situation for me. Can someone please provide some thoughts?
Also, if I enter nothing in the password entry field, it acts like it is going to go ahead and extract the file (message in field at bottom mentions extracting), but nothing happens.

What type of password did you set - Zip or AES?
@edixon:I used PA 9.50 to ‘ADD’ files to a previously saved archive that was originally created using an older version of PA.
If you just open the Zip file in PA (using classic view), do you see the list of filenames? Can you extract only the non-password files - those that you added and have no + in the name listing?
@edixon:… trying to extract the files; but the password does not work.
Doing this, do you get an error message?
@edixon:Also, if I enter nothing in the password entry field, it acts like it is going to go ahead and extract the file (message in field at bottom mentions extracting), but nothing happens
This is strange, you should get an error message.

Another question (sorry)-
What is the size of your zip file - and what is the size of the contents (I mean total size and number of files)? -
4.7 GB. 10,712 files.
Zip file.
I haven’t found any that allow me to pull one out.
-
4.7 GB. 10,712 files.
That is the problem.
Normal Zip format doesn’t support that file size. Unless you activated the PowerArchiver flag “Make Large Zip (over 4GB)” then I am afraid the Zip file is invalid.First make a copy of the ZIP for safety.
You could try the Repair Tool - but you will lose some of the contents even so.Note: I have never tried this so do not know exactly what the outcome will be. That is why I recommend making a safe copy first.

can you inform us exactly how you created the zip file and if indeed the problem is as the last post, then pa has a fault not informing you or stopping you doing that fault.

every time i ask for my registration codes to be sent to me it never sends me an e-mail and also when i first registrated to powerarchiver i clicked on retreive codes and it didnt do anything.@davidsplash:

That has nothig to do with this thread, you should have done a search or created a new thread.
Anyway, check the other thread for info -
