@Amigage:

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.
Double-Click to open in PA.
Select a file and press "Delete"in Toolbar.
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?

The temporary folder is on the same drive as the program ( C:\ ). My drive has 15 GB spaces left.

:confused: :confused: I tried it with the tutor.zip and all is okay. I tried it with an Zip Archive on drive D:\ sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t work.

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

I hope, you understand what I mean.

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!

No problem.

The files in zip archives are okay.

@spwolf:

No I can’t.

@spwolf:

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 download it from http://www.leipzig-info.net/heiko/test_PAFixed.zip

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:

I also have no problems with the file. Is this the only file that has problems?

can you try resetting your settings back to default (under Options), and see if that works? It might be specific to certain setting you have.

thanks,

Wild guess (because of exe file) - do you have active scanning by an Anti Virus which could “lock” the temp file??

This could be possible. I have running an active antivirus program called “Panda Titanium 2006 Antivirus”.

But I can’t believe that this program is the cause for the problem. Till 9.63 I didn’t have any problems with deleting files from zip archives.

Now I will do reset the configuration of PA and will tell you the results.

yeah, try that and then try disabling AV and see if it works.

thanks!

maybe report the issue to AV maker? They usually fix these issues…
