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.

Hello !
I just want to notice that Powerarchiver don’t works with Windows Vista Beta 2 (may 2006 build).
Powerarchiver start and there is a crash quickly so that we can’t use PA on this OS.If you want i can give you more precision. :)
Regards.
Christophe from France.

PowerArchiver 2006 does not work on Vista at this point… it will in the future.

power archiver crash on windows vista 64 bits beta 2
highly a new version I hope for it as of the provision of the release candidate of Vista 64

Thanks for the reply, spwolf–- any timeframe for a Vista compatibility update? PowerArchiver is one of the deal-breaker apps for me— it has to work or I won’t be able to switch to Vista as soon as I’d like (which would be now :) )

Here is the latest:
Q: Does PowerArchiver 2006 support Windows Vista?
A: At this point, PowerArchiver 2006 does not work in Windows Vista. Problem is that our registration system does not support Windows Vista. Our component supplier is working on the support at this time. As soon as they implement support, we will update PowerArchiver 2006 so it works with Microsoft Vista. We plan to implement Microsoft Vista support months before Microsoft Vista officially ships.
KB Article:
http://www.conexware.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=6As soon as they add support, we will issue new PA 2006 release.

did you guys try with 5472 build? Seems to work fine for me…
-
Hey, it works! I guess that takes some of the heat off :)
Well, until the next build, which will break it again, hehehe.
Now if I can just get my pda to sync I can go Vista all the way…

i doubt it will break since it was Microsoft’s effort to make it work… I am quite suprised at the effort they have shown to make Vista compatible with popular apps. Big kudos to them.

Do you mean Microsoft make adjustments based on PA?

not necessarily on PA alone, but on protection we use, yes. And they have been contacting us about Vista for past year too.
As I said, I am pretty impressed with their effort on Vista overall. They seem to be making sure all popular apps work great.

Yeah, I was just kidding about Microsoft breaking compatibility later.
I’m still a little disappointed that Vista isn’t quite the great leap forward a lot of people were expecting (including myself) since it will be about five years since the release of XP by the time Vista ships.
Still, I am definitely enjoying the beta releases and so far the experience for me has been better than around this time in XP’s beta cycle.
Definitely kudos to Microsoft for the continued work on compatibility… and kudos to the PowerArchiver developers for being proactive in working on Vista compatibility and being so responsive to the user base. Not every developer will even go so far as to give their customers any feedback or timeframes when the question of Vista drivers or compatibility comes up.

it looks fine. Due to not having too much time, I did not get to test it until this latest release 5472.
It seems like they made XP a bit sleeker, and easier to use for newbies.
It is an good step forward, especially if you take it in account together with IE 7 and MS Office 2007.
On the other hand, I also see XP being used in the decade ahead of us…

So PA is popular… :D :D :D

:) Exactly! When I was bemoaning that PowerArchiver wouldn’t run on the previous builds of Vista and I wouldn’t switch to Vista until it did, a number of people reminded me that there were a lot of other compression/decompression-type programs out there… I said yes, there are, but PA is the best and I don’t like to settle for less.
Shameless plug? Maybe. The truth? Definitely.
I have about 10 core apps I can’t live without and now that the registration system in PA is working out I’m just waiting patiently for my pda to be able to sync and I’m golden. Still no driver for my scanner from HP, but that’s not a deal-breaker…

heh, thank you :-).
Apperantly a lot of people are complaining about speed, but for me 5472 works quite fast?
-
Each new build of Vista has (to me, anyhow) improved in speed quite a bit. The pre-beta 2 builds were sluggish, but the interface responsiveness has improved drastically since then. I have a reasonably decent system (Athlon fx-57, 2 gigs of RAM, geforce 7900gtx, etc) but it even runs well on my laptop, which is of course a bit more modest (1.8 ghz Pentium M, 1 gig RAM, ATI Radeon 9600). The beta 2 revision driver updates from nVidia and ATI have also made a big difference in gaming performance as well.
One of the real annoyances with the previous builds was the network discovery… sometimes it would take a full minute for Vista to show me computers on my LAN at home and at work, but 5472 is very snappy. Since it won’t even be relased for at least another 6 months yet, this bodes well for the final release.
