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.

Upgrade Policy

Used to be once upon a time the phrase “Lifetime Updates” was prominently displayed on the home page. Now that phrase is gone.
My question is if I buy PowerArchiver now how long will my seral last before I’m required to pay an upgrade fee?
Thanks.

mmh…good point.
I bought PA because it’s really a good software…but also for its “lifetime” license. So a good thing would be keeping one’s word and don’t have old customers pay for PA again.

Business license buyers get 2 next versions for free - PA 2007 and PA 2008, and Personal license customers get lifetime upgrades for free. This is explained at 2nd page of shopping cart.
These licenses are active since PA 2002 actually, which was 4 years ago? So you have long memory :-).
As to the old customers (this would be PA 2001 customers?), no change for them of course. We cant/wont ever change previous licensing - so if you purchased PA 2006 Personal, you will get updates to PA, no matter what what we do in 2012.

Thanks for the clarification, spwolf. You should make that a faq or something. Burying that info on the second page of the shopping cart makes it less than ‘prominent’.
Good to know that personal users still get lifetime licenses.

well, you have to make selection in the shop when you purchase PA, so it is very visible. Not enough space on the front page of shop since you select International/English there…

I’m for one happy that a “Lifetime Licence” means that–it was a major reason for choosing this product (besides the fact that it worked well!) Other products should follow this model–how many of us bought “lifetime” license" until it was clarified–“while we support the product” (Norton)?
