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.
SFX Wizard
-
SFX Wizard creates “incorrect file size” and “error reading file” error when making and then opening a 7-zip SFX.
Otherwise, I like the changes!:)
-
b1 or b2? and with every file? It worked for me in b2 I think :-).
thanks,
-
B2. I tried it with mp3 and jpeg files, all under 5 MB.
-
Oh, and be sure to type in a caption for the SFX. Maybe that’s triggering the error. Who knows?;)
Should I try a clean install of the program?
-
Guys,
In case you don’t already do so, when working with beta’s its ofton advised after uninstalling the application via windows you delete relating folders to that program as ofton windows does not do this for you.
C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver
Also run regedit and delete the PowerArchiver Registry Key in the following Directry “PS This isnt all of them but will help”
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerArchiver
Its best if you download a registry cleaner such as Tune-up 2006 etc.
Whatever application you install and then install it leaves behind registry values and these values can cause problems when upgrading to new software.
I am sure the PA Crew have made sure that when updating to 2007 these issues will have been fixed. However, we are still in beta and are sometime away from the release.

just uninstall and then install again. See if that helps.
thanks,

No, uninstalling and starting over did not work. I even searched for and deleted all registry entries pertaining to PA. Then, I installed b3 the same way with the same results. I get an error with 7 zip SFX every time. I’ve tried different files, different directories, and everything I could think of. I’m puzzled! Oh, well, BH seems to work just fine, but then I can’t use that for an SFX……:rolleyes:
-
we will check it a bit more for b4… no worries.
thanks!
-
Details that might help:
I am running XP Professional SP2. 7-zip SFX works fine if I start it from the toolbar (Make .exe). If I go to the tools menu and try it from the SFX Wizard, then Zip SFX & Cab SFX work properly, but 7-zip SFX creates errors.
I’ve waited several years for PA to get 7-zip SFX, I guess I can wait a little longer……:)
-
Thanks!
The issue should be fixed in Beta 4.
-
Works fine in b4. Thanks guys!
