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.
In regards to support for 7-zip archives.

i have been using powerarchiver version 9.25 for quite a while now and figured i would attempt to get a response in regards to the one problem which has made me hesitant to upgrade, let me explain;
powerarchiver 9.25, the version i use, supports 7-zip compression [like all recent versions of powerarchiver supposedly do], but after compressing a set of files in 7z format, when i open the 7z archive, i am unable to delete any type of file from within the archive, as well as prevented from editing the file names within the archive. i figured this was a version specific issue and opted to wait until a newer version was released. when 9.26 was released i uninstalled 9.25, scanned over my registry settings in windows…to make sure there were no inconsistencies, and finally installed 9.26. upon attempting to work with files archived in 7z format with 9.26 i was disappointed to find that not only was this version of PA unable to open certain 7z archives, but the ones that i created with PA it’s self, would always end up being empty, completely empty. so i uninstalled 9.26 and re-installed 9.25, i am still able to compress and decompress 7z archives, but still unable to edit or remove files from within a 7z archive. i have seen several complaints on the forums about powerarchiver’s 7-zip support, so i have opted not to upgrade to 9.50 or 9.51. can anyone tell me whether they have experienced any similar issues with the 7-zip format in powerarchiver? also whether or not versions 9.50 and/or 9.51 support editing files from within a 7z archive? any other information on the topic would be appreciated as well. any-way, thanks for listening, looking forward to some informative responses.
(p.s. i use windows xp sp2 and have a [roughly] 1.8 ghz amd sempron 3200+ processor [one of the few semprons with support for running 64-bit software])

With PA 2006, you will have up to date 7zip support. You will find no issues with opening 7zip files (older versions had older 7zip dlls which had problems), however you still wont be able to edit 7zip files.
thanks,
