BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

[Banquo]

I am also experiencing this issue and can confirm that it involves the temp file location. I was having the exact same problems, the access violations and non-working shell extensions. After reading this thread I changed the temp file location back to the default and it worked fine.

For those who want to use a different temp file location I believe as a workaround you can set it in the Windows TEMP environment variable and leave the location field in PowerArchiver blank. Everything should work then.

Hopefully they will fix this bug in the next release. :)

hm, problem is that it works fine here.
Where did you guys install PowerArchiver to? C:\ drive or?

thanks,

[spwolf]

can anyone of you switch back to custom folder, and see if it works? If it does not, export your PA registry settings and attach them to the thread?

thanks!

Well, I changed back to C:\Temp, does not work.

Here is the reg file (I´ve changed the extension to the txt because this forum doesn´t support reg files).

exact settings here work.

Now, where is your PA installed and where is your Win XP installation?

thanks,

PA - C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver

WinXP - C:\Windows

I also have big problems with the context menu in the last version 9.63.01
Today I installed the last official version about my existing version.

Windows XP
Program Folder: C:\Programme\PowerArchiver
Temp Folder: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\amigage\Lokale Einstellungen\Temp\

My problems:
I take some files and drop it over an existing zip file. Normally Powerarchiver did overwrite the existing files. Today the message follows:
“Fehler beim Schreiben der Datei. Laufwerk voll”
maybe in english: “Write error. Drive full”
The existing file is deleted.

I have 21 GB free on drive.

So I changed the temp folder to "D:\Temp" and tried it again. If i drop a file over an existing zip file nothing happens. No message, no adding the file. The Zip file still exists.

The same problem appears if I use the main window. I click new, give a filename, select some files to add and the I get the error message:
“Fehler beim Schreiben in Datei. Mögliche Ursachen: Datenträger voll, kein Schreibzugriff, Laufwerk nicht bereit, Datenträgerfehler”
mabe in egnlish: “Error during the writing in file. Possible causes: Data medium fully, no write access, drive assembly not ready, data carrier errors”

I hope it helps…

Sorry for my poor english.

I installed the hotfix, it did not fix the temp folder problem however. I still get access violations and non working shell extensions if I change the temp location to anything else. I have the program installed to the default location (C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver) and have made no other changes.

hotfix solves different problem, this temp folder problem will have to be solved via new version…

[spwolf]

please try latest version from the website and see if it works…

thanks,

[James002]

Hereby, I can confirm that the new version works flawlessly!

Thank you for the quick analysis of the problem and the new, fixed version.

Spywolf, can you take the hotfix offline since a new 9.63.02 version has been released.

:-)

[Keith Weisshar]

The one for 9.63.01 that replaces the zip engine for NTFS.

Good news

I have a problem if I want to delete a single file from a zip file. The same error appears: “No space left on volume”. The zip-File was renamed with a temporary name like “G7a01644”

I can rename it to the original filename and the zip file is valid and the selected file is deleted.

Whats wrong?
