Hello!
I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
I use the new version 22.00.11.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .
The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
I know it has non standard quotes in it.
However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.
Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.
Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.
When will a fix be implemented?
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

Licencing question
-
Hello.
I’ve a little unclarity. In Licence, 2.2 it’s stated: “After you have registered, you may personally use the Software on one or more computers, or allow multiple persons to non-simultaneously use the Software on a single computer, but not both.” Does it means I can buy only one licence for both my computers at home? Second usualy uses my wife. And what about my notebook? I’m the only user of it. Thanks. -
@Ren:
Does it means I can buy only one licence for both my computers at home? Second usualy uses my wife. And what about my notebook?
I don’t work for Conexware but my understanding is that the key wording is “non-simultaneously”.
Only one license is required for all 3 computers - IF you can be sure that only one (PowerArchiver - not one computer) is being used at any time.
So, if your wife never uses PowerArchiver then you only need one license. However if she does use PowerArchiver, you should ensure that you do not use it at the same time.
My guess is that you could not be sure, so you would probably need two licenses - one for you and one for your wife. Then PowerArchiver can be used by either of you whenever needed (e.g. your wife at home while you are out with the laptop).
-
TBGBe> So I can forbid using to her… :D
No, seriously. She mostly plays WoW or surf the web so there’s very small probability we run PA both at once. And what if I’m working on notebook and destop simultaneously and accidentaly run PA on both? Is it violation of Licence? Is it crime? :) I must say I’m usualy a bit confused from licence agreements and this one isn’t different.
-
We give you freedom so you can choose if you want to license per computer/seat or per person.
If you want to license it per computer, then multiple people can use it at the same computer.
If you want to license it per specific individual, then you can use it on multiple computers as long as you are the ONLY person using it.
You can not mix and match different licensing options, you pick one and thats it. None of the licenses are concurrent licenses.

Ah, got it…So when I purchase per user Licence and install it on my wife’s PC but I’ll be only user (e.g. PA will be installed only in my profile) is everything alright?

Hello, I really would like to buy PA, but first I have to clarify my licence problem ;)
@ admin
You said that I can choose between a licence per computer/seat or per person. Is this option still up to date? I dont know where to choose this, there is only the possibility to choose between personal and business licence.
Is it allowed to use this personal licence on more than 1 computer non-simultaneously (of course only by myself)?
-
Yes. Just use it that way, there is nothing to select.
thanks
-
Thank you very much :)

Thats handy to know. I have a couple of colleagues who are waiting for the outlook addin to be updated for outlook 2007 before they buy and they were planning to get 2 licences each (one of their laptop and one for their desktop). They will only have to buy one each if I read that correctly.

yep… as long as they are only ones using it, that is correct…
