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.
Problem with registering PA on Windows 2003 Server
-
I have a server that many people access to run reports on. I have installed PA on the server to compress the files for easy distribution. However, when anyone but me logs in, it says PA is an evaluation.
How does one setup PA to take the registration code for anyone who logs in to this server?
-
First I think there is a licensing issue with multiple users and a single license. But I’ll try to answer this as best I can.
Whats happening: You installed PA and registered it. The registration information is unique to your logon\account. When another user logon, the registration information is not present. But it shouldnt be.
If users logged on to your account, they would be able to use PA as it is registered on your account\OS installation.
Where I think the licensing issue comes in is that you want multiple users on remote machines to be able to run PA as registered when in fact your the sole licensed user.
So I believe what you need to do is obtain a multi-user license that will allow X number of users to run PA entirely.
You could then argue that the software is installed on your machine only. But the fact that its being used under different accounts is the issue. Again I am assuming these people are accessing it remotely. Which by the terms of the license would require them to purchase their own copy. You cant purchase one copy and provide it to other people to use.
Not unless these people are sitting at your machine. Then it would meet the guide lines.
But wait for an official word on the matter. I may be incorrect on several points.
Edit: Some solutions I didnt think of though… Since these people are only decompressing the reports they dont need a registered version? I dont know if PA has a time limit or not.
Or. You could create self extracting files. That would mean these people wouldnt even need to run PA at all. Might be more convenient too.

Please contact us via support link at the top of the page.
You can automatically register PowerArchiver for all users on server, however, you do have to have license for remote users (which is separate issue). For more info, contact support.
I am closing this thread.
thank you!
