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.
What's with all the orphans?
-
Greetings.
PA 9.62.03, but this has been happening for quite a while. Every time I use PA, I end up with another POWERARC.EXE after I close the program.
I currently have 9 running! See attached.
Sup?
Cheers
Darren
-
I believe it is Startup guard causing this issue - it has been posted on forums before. Do you have System Mechanic installed?
-
No System Mechanic/Startup Guard installed. What specifically was causing the orphans? Perhaps I can see if any other apps I have installed doing the same thing.
I did a search on System Mechanic, but only found another post – regarding BSOD’s. Not happening here.
Cheers

Please check:
http://www.gregorybraun.com/DLLShow.htmlRun PowerArchiver, and DLLShow will show you an list of dependencies for powarc.exe. If it is not made by MS or in our installation folder, it should not be there.
-
Stuff from Logitech (web cam), Patchou (Messenger Plus! 3), and Nvidia. Nothing funky.
If it is not made by MS or in our installation folder, it should not be there.
Really? I’ve never before heard a software developer say that hooks were inappropriate.
Incidentally, PA is the only application that has a problem – none of the literally hundreds of other apps I run exhibit this behaviour.
Statistically speaking, the chances that this is not PA’s problem are pretty slim.

Darrenhooks that cause PowerArchiver to stay in memory certainly are innapropriate. Try uninstalling Patchou and see what happens.
So far we only had problems with Startup Guard and this is only time it has happened - I think they might have fixed it in some recent release since we did not get an complaint in a while.
Statistically speaking, out of 2 million downloads in past 12 months, you are first to report something similar so it is quite possible that it is something very specific, otherwise it would happen to many people. :-).
Let me know what happens when you try uninstalling, if it still happens, you can upload list from dll show here and we will check it out.
Dont worry, we will definetly check it out and if it is something on our side, we will fix it, as with everything else we do.
