On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

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

Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).
I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.
This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!

I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
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.
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.

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.

PA2007 Beta 4 heavy problems
-
Hi.
I have huge problems using PA2007 / beta 4.
As you find in the attached images, I will get a weird message at start and cannot end powerarchvier due to the second message.
I already uninstalled completely.Regards
Thorsten
-
It would be helpful to describe the steps necessary to produce your problem (i.e. precisely what were you doing that led up to the errors?). What is your OS, etc.
-
No Problem.
It actually appears right after installation and at every start.
First installation was an upgrade from Beta 3.
I am running a Windows XP Multi-Language Edition with German Language-Pack running (this is also stated in my signature btw.).I just have to start PA for it to happen. It is reproduceable every time.
I did a full uninstall and then tried to reinstall with no change :-( -
nice, thank you!
-
Shell extension is also not working at all.
Neither extract to… nor Extract to folder.
An open through double click will open powerarchiver, give the error on start and then will NOT load the double tabbed zip.
I have to manually open the file through the menu.Regards
Fly -
did you try restarting after installation?
what is double tabbed zip?
thanks,
-
yes, restarted a couple of times.
before install, after install, before deinst etc.tabbed should have meant tapped :-)
just a typo.Regards and good night
Thorsten -
Ok, now I am really stuck.
The beta3 installation does not work anymore.
It comes up with a requester showing the temp-directory as installation source.
I never got the PA to uninstall correctly, so I had to stop the process.
it looks like the MSI installation is buggy as it does not react on some situations.I will try to clean my system if possible.
Regards Thorsten
-
Maybe it helps.
Anytime the installation stucks, the _PASetup.exe takes nearly 100 % CPU and will never stop. -
did you uninstall Beta 4 properly through Add/Remove programs?
-
If you cant, because you deleted files from the folder, download Beta 4 again and run it… it will give you an option to Uninstall then.
-
Ok.
I have found the problem.
Somehow the permissions on the HKCU\Software\Powerarchiver was not set right.
Administrator had only read-access.
This leads to the problem, that the deinstall hangs, the start cannot write the settings, so that seems to be the message.Kind Regards
Thorsten -
Although I don’t know who set read-access rights, I have done some changes so this error message doesn’t show in the future even if the access is read-only.
