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.
PA 2007 B4: Explorer Shell extensions not working on Vista
-
Hello,
follow-up from the previous thread.
Under Vista x64 (Rc1 build 5744), I cannot get the shell extensions on folder or archive files.
Fresh install of PA 2007 B4 with default option after de-installation of PA 2007 B3
I did not try under XP x64.
I’ll admit that, even with Sir Richard’s explainations, I cannot figure out how the shell extension options panel works.On the plus side, the drag/drop from Rar archives is working like a charm.

Did you try restarting your computer after installation? Try that and see if that works.
If it doesnt, check Options, Configuration, Shell extensions and see if there are shell extensions selected.
thanks,

I’m running Vista Ultimate X64 RTM and under B1 - B4, I’ve not been able to get the Shell extensions to work.
-
Hello,
restarting the computer did not make any changes.
On the screenshot attached, here are the Options/Configuration/Shell Extensions dialogVyk

thanks, we will take an look for B5

Hello!
Can you please check the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{d03d3e68-0c44-3d45-b15f-bcfd8a8b4c7e}\InProcServer32
and see the default value?
-
Hello,
OK, I got it.
The default value is C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PASHLEXT.DLL.
On X64, the installation directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerArchiver.
When I edit the three values {d03d3e68-0c44-3d45-b15f-bcfd8a8b4c7e}, {d03d3e69-0c44-3d45-b15f-bcfd8a8b4c7e} and {d03d3e6A-0c44-3d45-b15f-bcfd8a8b4c7e}
to point to C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerArchiver\PASHLEXT64.DLL and rebooted the machine, I get the shell extensions.
I guess the problem exists on XP x64 too.Vyk.
-
Hm, is PowerArchiver installed to C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\ or C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver (x86)\ directory? Make a clean install after removing all PowerArchiver directories on a hard disk and check…
-
Test Done.
Uninstalled PA B4, rebooted, checked the registry base: the keys are still there. I removed them by hand.
Installed PA B4, default installation is C:\Program Files (x86)\Powerarchiver.
Now the keys are missing from CLSID …
I tried to disable and re-enable the shell-extensions from PA’s option dialog: does not seem to work.I guess removing the keys by hand was a really bad idea. However, I don’t know if these keys were remains of a previous installation of PA 9.6x or PA 10.x
Luckily, the keys were present in the WOW6432Node hub so I managed to restore them. The Keys in the WOW6432Nove had the proper values.
Vyk.

It seems as if key pointing to 64bit dll is wrong…
thanks!
