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.
Error/warning everytime I open a ZIP file…

I don’t understand why I am getting this when I open a ZIP file:
“This page has an unspecified potential security risk. Would you like to continue?”
The title area of the dialog box says Internet Explorer. What does IE have to do with PowerArchiver? What is causing this error? How do I make it stop?
Thanks

I.E. has nothing to do with PowerArchiver.
- Do you have “Internet Temp File Warning” activated
(Options / Miscellaneous)?
It could be Zip is tied to I.E. via Windows File Associations though.
- How (exactly) are you opening the file?
- Where is the Zip file?
- Do you have “Internet Temp File Warning” activated

that is because you are opening files by clicking them in IE, so IE shows its default warning.
You should right click on download links and save target to drive, and then open them in IE.

Err … open them in PowerArchiver surely :p

the way it goes is you get download window and then after it is done, you click on Open…
If user opens directly from the webpage, they get IE warning (this is the same for any kind of file).

I am not opening the files in IE. I am opening the files from Explorer and NOT Internet Explorer. How ever I am opening them from a mapped network drive. Which may have something to do with it.
How does one disable this warning?

that might be it. However, I dont think you can disable it - it is an security feature added in SP2 I think.

If that were the case, it would not have just started doing this, it would have been doing it for the last 2 years+. This just started happening after IE7 came out.

it might be that some security update makes it happening in more situations.
I have had it happened when opening files through IE for quite an long time…

Here is the answer to this orginal question in this thread:
The “unspecified potential security risk” popup message can be caused by trying to open a .ZIP file (or any “risky” file) from a “mapped” drive.
To turn this off, go to the Windows XP Control Panel, Internet Options icon within the control panel, then select the Security tab, select Local Intranet icon, click the Sites button, then uncheck the checkbox labelled “automatically detect intranet network”, then click OK, click OK again, and close the control panel. Done.
This worked perfectly for me.
best regards,
michael.
