    Windows 11 Shell Extension crash
    W
    Copied the Take Command shortcut, changed Target to be wt.exe -p “Take Command” and saved it. Right-clicked to get to properties and Explorer crashed. (wt.exe is the Microsoft Terminal program, which I have installed from the Microsoft Store.) The Target path had changed to: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe -p “Take Command” Created a new shortcut in a Start Menu folder and set the command line to the same, and it crashed the same. Created a new shortcut and set the command line to mspaint.exe (also a Windows Store app) and Explorer crashed on right-click on the shortcut. It appears PowerArchiver shell extensions doesn’t handle Windows Store apps in shortcuts properly. Perhaps it needs better defensive coding around checking the Target of shortcuts, or just ignoring shortcuts altogether. Running PA 22.00.11 on Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.6584

    Was Power Archiver affected by the WinRAR/.rar vulnerability discovered by ESET researchers recently? Not sure if PA is using their libraries for extraction.

    Ultimate zip was made by powerarchiver
    D
    From google search AI Overview Yes, that’s correct. UltimateZip was indeed a product of the same company that developed PowerArchiver, and it was essentially a rebranded version of PowerArchiver. It was discontinued and replaced by PowerArchiver.

    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT
    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).

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D
    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?

    PA2023 22.00.09 trying to delete a directory from a tar file.
    Brian GregoryB
    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.

        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…

                        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?

                              Other than that, is the zip file read only possibly? Try with some other zip archive (possibly completly new archive) and see if it works.

                                If I want to delete a file from a zip archive, PA can not rename the zip archive to the original name.

                                This problem appears also with different zip archives and new archives. The files don’t have the flag “read only”.

                                  I cannot reproduce this problem.
                                  Using windows explorer select a zip file.

                                  Works fine :confused:

                                  Can you provide more details of what you are doing?
                                  Size of files (Zip and uncompressed).
                                  How much free disk space (is you temporary folder on the same drive as the Zip file)?
                                  Try a quick test, make a copy of “Tutor.zip” from PA program directory - can you delete a file from this?

                                    I believe, the problem appears if I want to delete files from the archive when also installation programs are in the zip archive, like setup.exe

                                      do you have any smaller archive we can check out and see if it works on our computer? You can attach it to t he forums.

                                        1. what happens when you want to add files to that archive?
                                        2. If adding works, try “repairing” the archive via repair tool and then see if deleting works.

                                        Is there any way you can check “ownership” of the files? To see if possibly they are owned by another user.

                                        And are you doing it under admin account?

                                        thanks!

                                          2. If adding works, try “repairing” the archive via repair tool and then see if deleting works.

                                          The files in zip archives are okay.

                                          Is there any way you can check “ownership” of the files? To see if possibly they are owned by another user.

                                          No I can’t.

                                          And are you doing it under admin account?

                                          Yes, my account is an admin account with all rights. Till the last update to 9.63 all functions are okay. it was possible to add and delete files to/from archive files without problems.

                                          The zip archive with the problems is minimum 106 kB (with file setup.exe)

                                          Please delete the txt-file in zip archive and then the file setup.exe. Please try it several times.

                                            Done that - still no problems (for me) :confused:
