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.
HELP WITH .pak files
-
well its like this.
PA8 was good for Extracting & making .pak files…
since i got PA9… it wont let me do it no more.
i put in the .pak at the end of the file & then try to do it as i normaly do.
& it just dont work. it just does nothing…?Any Help would be nice :D
-
Can you please outline what exactly are you doing, step by step…
thanks!
-
PAK files were never supported - even extracting was never supported. Can you please explain what you were doing in older versions and with which files?

This May Sound Starange But Some People Were Using Zip As Pak Files With Just The Extension Changed To Pak. Sounds Daft But Its True. I Found This Out Over The Internet As I Downloded A Pak Foile Only To Find It Was A Zip File In Discuise
-
I just tried renaming one ZIP file to PAK and then opening it from main PA interface - it worked fine and I could do anything as with ZIP files. Even creating PAK (as ZIP format) files went fine from main PA interface.
From shell extensions it is not supported because shell-extensions are detecting file format based on its extension - so PAK files are not natually supported because they are not originally ZIP files! You should rename them to ZIP if you want to use them from shell extensions.
This is not a BUG because there are REAL PAK files - this is very old format by NoGate Consulting - and they are not supported, and because of this PA is not displaying “Extract” items in shell-extensions for those files.
It is true that PAK format is very similar to old v0.9 ZIP format - it uses same compression methods as old v0.9 ZIP format, but this format is not used any more and there is no reason for supporting it.

i like to extract the *.bik files inside the *.pak files … and play the ffviii scene …
I don’t know what these “bik” files are, but why not do the reverse of what ivan suggested?
Copy/rename the .pak file to .zip
Then (if it really is an old Zip format) you can open it with PA and use Find to extract all the .bik files. -

Although it should be handy to count on that feature in PA 9.x -'cause some games still use it to pack media files even though it’s an old format, you can still use ‘PAKScape’ to Extract & Make “real” .pak files.
Here’s a set of links to download pages: click here
I hope this helps.
